A creamy, rich, and healthy Chocolate Avocado Pudding made with ripe avocados, raw cacao powder, and natural sweeteners. This dairy-free and vegan dessert is perfect for those seeking a nutritious and delicious treat without refined sugars or artificial ingredients.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large avocados, chilled
  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup raw cacao powder
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • Sea salt, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Avocado: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add Liquids and Flavors: Pour in the full fat coconut milk, add raw cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the blender with the avocado.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients at high speed until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and well combined. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even mixing.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Taste: Taste the pudding and add extra maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more coconut milk and blend again.
  5. Chill: Transfer the pudding into serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken.
  6. Serve with Toppings: Before serving, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts and a pinch of sea salt over the pudding for added texture and flavor contrast.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest pudding and best flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
  • The pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the hazelnuts or replace with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
