Pudding required - urgently! page

[breadsauce]

HI .. I have 2 friends coming for dinner Saturday. Now, my partner and I don"t eat wheat or sugar. And one of our guests doesn't eat any dairy. My "go to" is fruit salad with cream. Can fruit salad be eaten without cream?

Has anyone any ideas? If so -- many thanks!

Coconut milk mousse. Coconut milk with cocoa powder (a bit of honey if you'd like) and topped with berries. Fruit salad is good without topping, however. I'm sure you could mix in other fruit with the coconut milk if you'd like. I wonder if blending a banana in the coconut milk would be tasty (now I want to go home and try it)..... I think there was a thread in here with the recipe (for the mousse).

I just wanted to say that I love the title of this thread.

Ooh, raw deal, dude. Was just going to say fruit + devon cream is pretty much the voice of God.
sub coconut milk, best bet I think.
Sixtoes is on to something though. Have you tried paleo pudding using avocado, banana, and cocoa powder?

How about chocolate avocado pudding? (It does involve honey - don't know if you include raw honey in your "no sugar" restriction)

(BTW, I've made the pudding with plain old unsweetened cocoa powder, so if you don't have the "natural raw cacao powder" it's a perfectly reasonable substitute).

Banana icecream always blows people away, and you can make it in advance provided you take it out of the freezer to defrost for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Banana in avocado pudding?! Thank you!! I love avocado pudding but adding banana sounds divine.

Do you have a recipe for this? It sounds good!

Thanks for the link - this look VERY hopeful! Can I add banana to this? Sliced, perhaps??

Of course! (Not sure what any of this has to do with pudding, though.)

Fruit salad is basically just different fruits cut into pieces and put into a bowl. No reason you can't eat it "as is".
