This delightful recipe has three parts to it: pudding, filling, and optional maple cream!
Pudding Ingredients:
3 cups white grape juice
1 cup raw couscous
¼ cup almond butter
½ cup chopped dates
½ cup sliced almonds
½ teaspoon salt
Pudding Directions:
Bring juice to a boil. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil again, stirring constantly. Simmer for two minutes.
Cover and turn heat off. Let sit for 15 minutes. Make filling while pudding sets.
Filling Ingredients:
2 cups blueberries
1 cup grape juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch

May serve warm or chilled. Cut into squares and top with a dollop of Tofu Maple Cream. (See below.)
