CREAMY CAROB MOUSSE
Thick and creamy pudding that's rich, wholesome, and chocolate-like. This pudding has been a go-to recipe for years because it never fails to impress in little parfait glasses and is dairy free, paleo (aip), gluten free, and vegan. This recipe comes together in 5 minutes in the blender (no cooking required) with a few simple ingredients.

Steps:
- Cut avocados in half and remove seeds. Use the peel as a handle to squeeze the avocado into a blender, food processor, or bowl (if using an immersion blender).
- Add carob, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and oil and blend on high until extremely creamy. You may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides. Once the pudding is lump free and uniform in color, transfer to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. It will firm up a bit because of the coconut oil.
- To serve, pipe or spoon into parfait glasses and top with toasted coconut or nuts and fresh berries. Best served cold.

CHOCOLATE OR CAROB PUDDING (VEGAN, LIGHT)
Though I usually make this "light," I did include a couple of optional enrichments. A note about sweetener: I used to make this with agave nectar but am now using Truvia. I prefer to add sweetener after cooking, but you may want to add the sweetener while the pudding is cooking.

Steps:
- Blend carob or cocoa powder with cornstarch in saucepan by mashing them together with a fork to flatten any small lumps.
- Add small amounts of almond milk gradually, blending well after each addition.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. You can start at a higher heat for the first one or two minutes, but keep stirring and lower the heat so as not to scorch the pudding at the bottom.
- You can add the vanilla if using, at this point.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. You may add your sweetener of choice now, or after pudding is cooked.
- Add butter or coconut oil, if using, and stir to melt and blend. (I prefer to add virgin coconut oil at this point so that it doesn't cook).
- Chill or serve warm.

TAHINI CAROB SHAKE (GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE)
Yummy, yummy and pretty healthy too. With ingredients both used in Cypriot and Greek cooking. The scientific name of the carob tree is 'Ceratonia siliqua' derived from the Greek word 'keration' which means horn as the shape of the pod itself. In Cyprus, another common name is 'terratsi', a word that is probably derived from its Latin scientific name, Ceratonia. Carob is also referred to as St John's bread following the legend that St' John the Baptist was feeding on the pods of this tree while in the desert. I made this up when I wanted the taste of Carob in a cold drink that was also dairy free.
