US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small bowl, add the pitted dates and cover them with lukewarm water. Set aside for about 10 minutes until softened. Drain.
In a high-speed blender, add cooled, cooked quinoa, cocoa powder, coconut milk, soaked, drained dates, and vanilla extract.
Blend on high speed until creamy and smooth. Taste, and if it's not sweet enough, add the maple syrup, blend for a few seconds to incorporate.
Serve with coconut yogurt and berries.

Notes

Note 1: The recipe must use cooked cooled white quinoa that has been cooked in water, not in vegetable stock. If you want to make the recipe and you don't have leftover cooked quinoa, simply cook quinoa following the packaging instruction. Drain it and refrigerate overnight. Note that 1/2 cup of uncooked quinoa is about 1 cup of cooked quinoa.

Note 2: Medjool dates add texture to the pudding, not only sweetness. I do not recommend making the recipe without them. Other varieties of dates are suitable.

Note 3: Any plant-based milk work including soy milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. But the less fat in the milk, the less creamy the pudding will be.

Note 4: This is a great refined sugar-free add-in if you want a sweeter dessert.

Storage and Texture: This pudding is runny and creamy just after you make it. It will firm up like a mousse in the fridge. If you don't want the pudding to firm up as much in the fridge, increase the milk to 1 3/4 cup.
