Vegan chocolate pudding with caramelized pears and toasted sesame seeds, yummy! No idea how I came up with this recipe. I stood in the kitchen and was hungry. Normally I would have one cup of green smoothie to one or two slices of bread. You know, just to make sure to boost my immune system with important vitamins my body needs to stay healthy. Especially in this „colder“ times.
This recipe might be richer than a green smoothie, but not less healthy:-) I like to have this one as a dessert as well, so good!! So, mission accomplished!
