Chocolate Pudding

I love making desserts that taste delicious and are healthy but don't taste "healthy."  I also love ways of sneaking in added veggies whenever possible.  This pudding was a hit among everyone in the family.  It is sweet, creamy, and free of dairy and refined sugars.
This recipe is adapted from Oh She Glows.

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked sweet potato, peeled
1/8 cup maple syrup (May need more depending on your taste preference.  The sweet potatoes already add some sweetness.)
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of your favorite unsweetened nut butter
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extra

Topping Suggestions:
fresh berries and unsweetened shredded coconut
sliced almonds
homemade grain free granola



Instructions:
1. Bake the sweet potato at 400 until softened. Time varies depending on size.
2.  Peel the sweet potato and put in a food processor or blender.
3.  Add the rest of the ingredients and process until smooth.
4. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired.
5.  Can be served right away or placed in the fridge to chill.
Enjoy! The pudding is very rich so a small amount goes along way!
