  1. Why Why Why didn’t I look at your page before going to the grocery store. I definitely would’ve picked up some cashews. I suppose I’ll just have to drool of your photos until I get back there next week. Is that okay with you? Yeah.. well great!

    1. Haha – thanks Jessie – I hopeyou got to get some cashews and have got to drool over your cashew cream instead of drool over our computer! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Ooh, Shashi, I am glowing with pride right now! That was such a wild guess as well! ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Dangit! I was wrong again. And how amazing are those blogging conferences?! I really wish I could attend more of them because it’s such a great experience to be able to finally meet people that you’re usually only able to interact with via the blog. Hopefully we find ourselves at the same conference one of these days!!

    1. I thought for sure that last photo would give it away!
      Sweet lady – I cannot wait to meet you – you have been such an inspiration tome Spoons!

  6. Need need need need. Never have seen cashew pudding before, you do it again!!! This looks soooo yummy!

  7. I’m so glad you got a lot out of the conference. I haven’t been to a blogging conference for ages and I do love them for not only the content, but also how you can connect with those you’ve been following on-line. What a great looking chocolate pudding xx

    1. Thanks Charlie,
      Yes – meeting bloggers face to face is indescribably – it’s like you form friendships and you know them online …and then y’all meet and it’s like you are meeting an old friend – for the first time…I hope I didn’t confuse you too much!
      xxs

  8. Cashews!!! That makes total sense!! haha dang, one of these times I’ll guess correctly!

    And so glad to hear that you loved your first blogging conference! Maybe we’ll get to meet one of these days!

    1. I sure hope you guess correctly next time! I thought for sure that last photo would give it away…I am looking forward to meeting you my friend – soon!!!

  9. Argh! Cashews! I should’ve known. I totally saw the bit of grainy texture, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what trick you had up your sleeve there. Nice work, Shashi! And glad you enjoyed the conference…they are perfect for when you need a little re-energizing. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Arg!! Tricks??? Me??? No way!!!!

      David – I feel I am just wondering around in this blog world – that conference helped put so much into perspective – cannot wait to attend my next one!

    1. I have always soaked my cshews overnight – but I have seen recipes that soaked for 4-6 hours too – Thanks for stopping by, Reneva. ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Gah I really thought i might have been right this time! Oh well always next time ๐Ÿ™‚ And cashews- wow, i never would have guessed that and i LOVE that idea! It just made already delicious looking pudding look even yummier!

    1. GAH – I though you and a whole bunch of y’all would get it right too … one of these days I am gonna put a Mystery Ingredient recipe up and y’all are all gonna get it…one day…
      Btw, Thanks lady!

    1. I thought that last photo would surely give it away – I though everyone would guess this … oh well…next time right?
      Hope you have a wonderful day and weekend Melanie!

    1. Thanks Chris!!! BlogHer (even though your are a “HE”) Food 2015 – be there! ๐Ÿ™‚
      Yay – for your first conference too!!! Which one was it?? Cannot wait to read the recap…

  11. I think this is the first recipe you’ve ever posted where I actually have all the ingredients on hand, but I don’t have a food processor! One of these days…

  12. First of all, these photos are gorgeous! Second of all, this pudding sounds so perfectly creamy, nutty, and satisfying! Can it work for breakfast?? ๐Ÿ˜‰

  13. Saw this on Instagram Shashi and could’t wait to check it out! No wonder it’s worth re-publishing (although I’m pretty sure your original photographs would have been perfect!) again. Yum double, triple yum yum!

  14. Ah, I remember when this one made it’s first appearance. Oh, the ‘mystery ingredient’ days…I remember that series fondly! You should do another post like that sometime. ๐Ÿ™‚ Also, these photos? You killed ’em! They’re amazing. And that little bit of chocolate sauce dripping down the side. Perfection!

  15. I have made pudding some times, They are so delish!!
    My secret recipe is adding chia seeds. I’d like to try your recipe soonnn ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. cashews are my handy nut all the time but you know what , I never tired anything with cashews yet..uuuhhhh ! I really love this simple yet THE DELICIOUS pudding recipe + it is non dairy too.
    i am sure my family will love this.

  17. Hi..so I’m looking at making this soon. I’m just wondering how did u get the layered look? Light brown at bottom and the dark brown on top? As you just pour straight from.blender into a glass?

    1. Hi – yes, I spooned the mixture from the blender to the glass – the top is simply melted chocolate and coconut oil or you could use chocolate syrup

  19. Omg this looks delicious. Can I ask what is on top in the photos? Is that also a dairy free vegan cream?? Was wondering if maybe it was shipped coconut cream? And if so do you add anything to the coconut cream to sweeten it or just whip it as is? Thanks!!

    1. Thanks so much Kylee! In these photos the white fluffy cream is indeed whipped coconut cream – I did sweeten it with a bit of sugar, but you can use maple syrup if you prefer. My daughter’s high school home economics class made this pudding and they served it with tru-whip and that works just as well.

  20. Hello Sashi,

    This morning I made an attempt with your CASHEW CHOCOLATE PUDDING recipe. However my attempt got only to #1 of the instructions. The cashews were well-soaked over night and drained (I assumed they should be drained although that wasn’t stated in the instructions). I used a ‘Vitamix’ blender into which I put the cashews and 1/3 Cup of almond milk. This powerful blender was able to start processing the mixture but soon developed an ‘airlock’ which happens when the mixture is not fluid enough to keep flowing into the blades.

    To assist the mixing I chose to use the ‘pusher’ that forces the ingredients into the blades. This was only partly successful, making a very dense, grainy mixture, not the creamy texture I expected from the instructions. So I proceeded to add the other ingredients thinking the honey may correct the density problem. It did somewhat but not enough to produce a creamy consistency as expected. And I still had to use the ‘pusher’ to keep the mixture moving to the blades.

    At this point I decided to add another 1/3 cup of almond milk. That was definitely helpful but not good enough to allow a spontaneous flow of the mixture to the blades without ‘pusher’ assistance. After adding another 1/3 cup of almond milk the mixture became fluid enough so effective blending started to happen. Then at last I could turn it to ‘high speed’ for another minute to get the truly creamy consistency.

    After an hour in the refrigerator the mixture is beginning to become pudding-like but I’m wondering if heating the mixture to just under boiling before refrigeration would produce a more pudding-like product.

    P.S. In one of your pictures of the pudding I noticed that the photo showed it to be somewhat grainy rather than creamy smooth.

    I sampled the product I made and it had a good consistency though still very soft but the flavor was quite acceptable.

  21. OH my goodness, I was craving something sweet n’ chocolaty and this was AMAZING. I haven’t actually eaten it cold yet, I’m still waiting (wish I had a time machine to skip the hour!), and just tasting it after mixing- it’s literally brownie batter. SO GOOD.

    btw for those making it, you don’t need to soak the cashews beforehand, mine were literally straight out of the bag (I only made one serving though, around 1 cup of dry cashews). If you soak they’ll be more creamy so watch the liquid! Dry it can leave small chunks, which if you like cashews it’s awesome!

  22. I love this recipe, and make it regularly. I usually substitute dates instead of honey, but either way works great. After scooping out the cashew cream, there is some left in the blender; I add water, blend again, and now have chocolate cashew milk (which works great with cold brew coffee, FYI).

  23. Hello,
    My son and his wife just forgot and left an unopened half gallon of Unsweet Cashewmilk, and I am on the lookout for recipes to use it in.
    Can I use it in your chocolate pudding recipe, instead of the cashews and almond milk, and if so, how much!
    Thank you!
    I would love ideas for conversion amounts in other recipes as well, please!
    Loralee

    1. Hi Loralee – yes, you can use it in my recipe instead of the almond milk – but this recipe still needs soaked cashews. The soaked cashews are blended in the rest of the ingredients to give this pudding a creamy consistency. My apologies for the late reply.
