Vanilla Bean Cashew Creme Pudding

by

 

I love my Vanilla Bean Cashew Creme Pudding just by itself, OR as a dip for any kind of fruit your heart desires. 🙂 I choose vanilla bean powder because it’s straight from the Earth, without any alcohol or glycerin added. It’s fresh and delicious! Vanilla Bean Powder can be found in many health food markets, or online.
