The combination of orange and chocolate is a true culinary classic. The refreshing citrusy notes balance the rich intensity of the chocolate. Since this recipe calls for raw vegan cacao powder, which is bitter in nature, we added dates to provide the classic sweetness. This is a dessert after all!
Some people don’t think that a pudding like this will taste good because they see avocado on the ingredient list. Listen, folks, you can easily mask the flavor of avocado. The avocado is merely in the recipe to help achieve that classic creamy pudding texture. It is quite flavorless, so the cacao powder, dates, orange, and vanilla are what you taste.
