Sweetly Raw – Chocolate Cauliflower Pudding & Blackberry Ice Cream Cake (Vegan/GF)
I have two awesome dessert recipes for you today! It's blackberry season here and they're growing everywhere!!! It's been really hot without any kind of a breeze which is rare on this island, and we're suffering from extreme forest fire smoke. It's so sad. The province is literally burning up. Please keep us in your prayers.
Anyway, all of this heat calls for a lot of COOL treats like my Blackberry Banana Ice Cream Cake and chilled Decadent Chocolate Pudding that uses CAULIFLOWER as its main ingredient.
If you haven't jumped on the cauliflower-in-everything train yet, I suggest you hop aboard because it's one of the most versatile veggies out there! From the popular cauliflower pizza crust to rice, mashed potatoes, creamy soups, smoothies - and now, chocolate pudding. TRUST ME - you will LOVE this! I've made it sooo many times. A batch never lasts long around here (in fact I have some cauliflower cooking as I write this post haha).
Let me preface by saying you DON'T taste the cauliflower in this pudding.
It's a question I get all the time in response to instagram posts and stories where I add cauliflower to my smoothie bowls and the answer is that the other ingredients cover up the taste.
Great things about this cauliflower pudding:
- It's easy to make - I cook a whole head of cauliflower, use what I need for the recipe and freeze the rest for smoothies OR throw it into the fridge to add last minute to stir fries or cold in my salads. The pudding itself can be whipped up in just minutes.
- It uses only a few simple ingredients.
- It's VEGAN and gluten free
- It's nut-free for all of you who have been asking for nut free recipes.
- It's sugar-free.
- It's oil-free for those of you who don't want to be using oils.
- Great way to get more veggies into your diet without noticing it.
- It's damn delicious!

I've written out the full recipe in the info section (why not here? because it takes a lot of time and energy to create a video so please do check it out - I do share a few little tips along the way - and you'll have the full write up over there).
And do check out my vegan/keto/paleo fat bomb recipe video too (also with full recipe write up) HERE if you haven't already.
As for those fruity ice cream cravings, you have to give this blackberry ice cream cake a try!

I am unable to find the written out full recipe for the Chocolate Cauliflower Pudding. I've tried all the links and it all links back to this post which says it can be found in the info section. The video is excellent. It would just be helpful to have the ingredient list to work from. Also, I have tried three times to subscribe to get your Vegan Christmas ebook and the subscribe button does not seem to be working. Thank you!
Hi Chandra, Yes the full recipe is written out in the info section of the video :) Ohhh thank you for letting me know about the e-book. I'll send you a private message so that you can get the ebook.
Hi Heather! your recipes Always look so fabulous. And I have enjoyed indulging in a few! Question, what could I substitute for the cashews to make the CREAMY filling? I am just recently going nut free ;(, for health (miss my nuts!) I know what to use for the crust. But if I were to use just the cream part of coconut milk, would that be enough for the substance and texture? Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you
Hi Maria! Im glad to hear that you've enjoyed making some of my recipes :) This one is rather tricky... you're right that coconut milk alone isn't enough to set the filling. What works well is young coconut meat paired with coconut butter and oil. Please refer to this recipe: https://sweetlyraw.com/mint-chip-cheesecake-nut-free/ to see an example of a nut free cheesecake I've made (I hope you get notified of this comment, there seems to be some issues on my site at the moment).
