Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

▢ 1½ cups cooked chickpeas use 1 15 oz can or boil dried chickpeas at home
▢ ¼ cup cocoa powder
▢ 5 Medjool dates
▢ ¾-1 cup almond milk
▢ ¼ cup peanut butter or any nut or seed butter
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ Pinch salt

Toppings:

▢ Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
▢ Chopped nuts like peanuts or almonds
▢ Vegan gummy worms

Instructions

Blend the pudding: In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, cocoa powder, pitted Medjool dates, almond milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides in between.
Adjust sweetness: Taste the pudding mixture. If it is not sweet enough, add more dates, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again.
Chill before serving: Divide the pudding mixture into individual serving cups or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for a firmer texture.
Top and serve: Crush chocolate sandwich cookies for a classic "dirt" effect. Sprinkle with chopped almonds for added texture. Add some vegan gummy worms for a fun and playful touch, especially for kids!

Notes

Ensure thorough blending of the chickpeas and dates to achieve a silky-smooth pudding consistency. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender for even mixing.

For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, soft Medjool dates. If the dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before blending to soften them.

Allow the pudding to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld and the pudding to firm up slightly for a better texture.

If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of more almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

For a richer chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of melted chocolate chips to the blended mixture.
