So if you said, “Your favorite fruit? 30 seconds. Go.” I’d say, without hesitation, MANGOES! Oh my, oh yes, mangoes. Can you think of a sweeter, sexier fruit? No way. Nothing compares. Mangoes are in a class all by themselves. No wonder they are called the King of Fruits and the Love Fruit.

Uh huh, the love fruit, baby. Among their myriad of benefits, mangoes are also considered an aphrodisiac said to boost the libido and regulate hormones. So, with Valentine’s Day coming up, um, maybe you’ll want to give this little recipe a try.

Coconut Chocolate Pudding

Every year I make chocolate-covered strawberries for my boys for Valentine’s Day.  This is a tradition that really shouldn’t be messed with.  Chocolate + Strawberries = Love.  But I thought it might be fun to add a little something this year, so I made this to-die-for chocolate pudding.  It’s super easy and vegan!

I got a little crazy with the whole coconut thing and used coconut palm sugar, coconut milk and coconut oil in this recipe.  The result is actually a subtle hint of coconut which is a perfect compliment to the chocolate.

First combine coconut sugar (or brown sugar) with cornstarch in a saucepan.  Then gradually add non-dairy milk, your choice, I used coconut milk.  Heat over medium heat and whisk constantly. This smells really good, kind of like caramel.
