Chocolate Banana Vegan Pudding

Let me start by saying I'm not vegan. Not vegetarian. Or even close. But more often than not, I choose the friends that are vegetarians, vegan, are allergic to berries, are gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant.... etc. Therefore, I'm always up for building up my repertoire of bizarre recipes that will please the group. 

This "pudding" was actually really tasty and is great for vegans and non-vegans alike. I thought I had finally found a group pleaser... until I remembered the one that doesn't eat bananas. *sigh* 

Anyway, The taste was magnifique and the texture was very smooth. My only concern was that it could have been a thicker consistency. Next time, more bananas!
