# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
02 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

# Steps:

01 - Place the avocados, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender.
02 - Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

04 - Spoon the pudding evenly into serving bowls or glasses.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture, or serve immediately if desired.
06 - Add desired optional toppings before serving.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It feels like you're getting away with something delicious and sinful when it's actually packed with healthy fats and whole food ingredients.
  • Ready in minutes with no baking, no waiting, just pure chocolate satisfaction.
  • Works for every diet—vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free—without tasting like it's missing anything.
02 -
  • Overblending turns this into a separated, broken mess—blend until smooth, then stop. Your blender might sit there looking like it could go longer, but it really can't.
  • The avocado flavor completely disappears if you use ripe fruit and proper cocoa-to-milk ratio. This isn't avocado pudding that happens to have chocolate; it's chocolate pudding that happens to be made with avocado.
03 -
  • If your avocados aren't quite ripe, pop them in the oven at 200°F for 10 minutes—this softens them enough to blend without changing the flavor.
  • Taste the pudding before chilling; flavors mute slightly when cold, so what tastes perfect at room temperature might need a touch more sweetness or cocoa after an hour in the fridge.
