While Mike and I were traveling to Miami to renew my passport, we found this incredible little hole in a wall vegan restaurant in Fort Lauderale, Darbster's. I am not sure about the history of the name but it gives nothing away to what lies behind the door. On a whim I looked up a Vegetarian Restaurant finder , The Happy Cow. We followed the directions and drove right by it assuming our GPS had made a mistake. It is completely hidden on a corner, and only locals would know how to find it. We drove by again and I saw the sign. We pulled in, figured we had nothing to lose, worse case is we would get a small salad with a glass of water and look for the nearest grocery store for traveling snacks. We were completely shocked by what we found hiding around the corner of the parking lot. This hip little open indoor/outdoor restaruant surrounded by tropical foliage and the illusion of being in some resort.
I ordered a crazy good mushroom vegan burger which I quickly ate before I considered taking a pic of it :/ But I remembered for the delightful raw chocolate pudding. This stuff took my breath away!
I am telling you this stuff was amazing. I asked what it was made with, didn't write down the ingredients but was determined to figure it out as this was to become a major staple in my life. After a few attempts I came up with what I believe to be very close to this version. Absolutely Delish!!
RAW CHOCOLATE VEGAN PUDDING
1 AVACADO
1 BANANA
4 T CACAO POWDER
2 T MAPLE SYRUP
1 t VANILLA
1/4 C WATER
*Garnish with fresh berries and raw chocolate syrup ( 3 T cacao, 2 T melted coconut oil, 2 T maple syrup - mix all well )
Mix all ingredients in Ninja, scraping down sides as needed. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
