Challenge #98 - Dessert Anyone?

Here is Coconut Pudding 2 ways.
Feel free to use this idea as the base and change up the flavor combos anyway you like!  This recipe is super flexible and versatile.

You can order coconut meat from Exotic Superfoods or crack open a young coconut and remove the water and meat.

Coconut Lemon Ginger Pudding:
1/2 bag of 1lb coconut meat (or you can open the coconut and scrape out the meat)
About 4oz coconut water (enough to blend, can sub in filtered water)
Zest of 1 lemon
Squeeze 1/2 lemon juice
8-10 drops lemon essential oil (must be food grade high quality! or sub in lemon extract)
Ginger Powder (to taste)
 Stevia to taste

Step #1 - Blend all ingredients in blender (Vitamix rocks, makes a beautiful consistency)
Step # 2- Put in glass or bowl, add lemon sliver and zest for decoration if desired and Enjoy!
This is enough for 2 servings (I admit though I ate both!)



Chocolate Ginger Pudding:
1/2 bag of 1lb coconut meat (or you can open the coconut and scrape out the meat)
About 4oz coconut water (enough to blend, can sub in filtered water)
2-4 tbsp cocoa powder (pending how chocolatey you like it)
Ginger Powder (to taste)
 Stevia to taste
Cacao Nibs (optional)

Step #1 - Blend all ingredients in blender (Vitamix rocks, makes a beautiful consistency)
Step # 2- Put in glass or bowl, add cacao nibs if desired and Enjoy!
Again  - This is enough for 2 servings
