How to Prepare Banana Pudding [Vegan]

Put everything in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Eat right away or chill in the fridge for an hour or more (it will get really thick – and stay delicious!)

Notes

If you do not want to use tofu, you can omit and add more banana and cream/plant milk. I also think a can of drained white beans or chickpeas would work well – don’t wince! Beans are wonderful and healthy additions to desserts! Another option is to add two baked and peeled Japanese sweet potatoes. They are one of my favorite dessert ingredients because they are sweet, rich, creamy and full of nutrients and fiber. A more decadent and higher fat version (but still way lower than eggs or dairy!) would be a cup of soaked and drained raw cashews (soak in boiling water for 15 – 20 minutes OR soak in filtered water over night or at least 4 hours).
