Let’s Get Started!
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise.
- Remove the pit.
- Scoop out the flesh into the blender or food processor. Make sure to get all the creamy parts!
Step 2: Add the Remaining Ingredients
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender or food processor.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is incorporated and there are no lumps of avocado.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
- Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness or cocoa powder to your preference. If it’s not sweet enough, add a little more maple syrup. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, add a touch more cocoa powder. Blend again to incorporate any adjustments.
Step 5: Chill the Pudding
- Divide the chocolate avocado pudding evenly among your serving dishes.
- Cover the dishes with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming) or lids.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to chill and the flavors to meld. For a firmer, more mousse-like consistency, chill for 1-2 hours or even longer.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream (dairy or vegan).
Enjoy your rich, creamy, and surprisingly healthy Chocolate Avocado Pudding! You’ll be amazed at how the avocado disappears into a velvety chocolate delight.
