Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) pitted dates
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) boiling hot water
- 2 cups (500 mL) milk
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) cocoa powder
- 3 tin (45 mL) cornstarch
- 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) peppermint extract
- 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) vanilla extract
- 8 fresh mint leafs
Preparation
- In a small bowl, stir together dates and boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Pour into a food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, whisk together date paste, milk, cocoa powder, cornstarch, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Whisk continuously until pudding is lightly simmering and thickened, around 5 minutes. Remove from heat once desired thickness has been reached. Enjoy hot or place in the refrigerator to enjoy cold later. Garnish with mint leaves.
Tips
If you like a bit more of a mint flavour in your desserts, add ¼ tsp peppermint extract instead of 1/8 tsp.
