Sugar Free Vegan Sticky Date Cacao Pudding With Banana Nice Cream

The best thing about this sugar-free chocolate date pudding is that it’s so delicious, yet so easy to make. With a scoop of banana nice cream, it becomes an amazingly sweet dessert that uses the fruit’s natural sugar as a wholefood so as to avoid a blood sugar spike that regular sugary desserts offer.

Serves: 8
