With Caramelized Coconut Brittle

Written by Renata Trebing

A decadent Chocolate Coconut Pudding that can be dressed up with your favourite toppings and a piece of the scrumptious Caramelized Coconut Brittle. Many of us are chocolate tragics, and can not do without a dose on a daily basis. For us, this Chocolate Coconut Pudding is the perfect fix.

The pairing of chocolate, coconut, and caramel, in this recipe, is enough to satisfy the sweetest of teeth. Notice the use of Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, a much healthier option for you than processed white sugar.

Let’s Make a Difference

Every day we have the opportunity to make hundreds of choices. We are so fortunate to live in a time where information is so easily accessible and we have the opportunity and freedom to make choices that we feel are the best for us and our families.

I encourage you to continue educating yourself and others about the benefits of living a plant-based lifestyle. Cook a plant-based meal, opt-out of products like leather, watch a documentary with a family member or friend. It’s easy to feel like the choices we make are small, but when we make these choices together, we can make a big difference!
