Chocolate Avocado Pudding might sound unusual, but it's a creamy, decadent dessert that’s secretly healthy. This recipe is perfect when you want something sweet but are trying to keep things on the lighter side.
The star of this recipe is the avocado. It provides a creamy base and healthy fats, making the pudding silky smooth. The unsweetened cocoa powder is what gives the pudding its chocolatey goodness, while honey or maple syrup adds natural sweetness. The almond milk helps to blend everything together smoothly. A touch of vanilla extract enhances the flavor, and a pinch of sea salt rounds everything out perfectly.
Top your pudding with a sprinkle of cacao nibs for a crunchy contrast. Fresh berries or sliced bananas also pair wonderfully and add a pop of color. For a more indulgent treat, a dollop of whipped coconut cream on top is delightful.
Start by cutting your avocados in half and removing the pit. You’ll want to scoop the flesh into a food processor. Make sure your avocados are ripe; they should give slightly when you press them. Next, add the cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the processor.
Now, blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth and creamy. You might need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to ensure everything mixes evenly. Give it a taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa flavor if needed. Just add a bit more honey or cocoa powder until it’s perfect for your palate.
Once you’re happy with the taste and texture, transfer the pudding into serving bowls. Pop them into the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes the pudding even thicker.
