Avocado Chocolate Pudding is a silky, rich, and healthy dessert made by blending ripe avocado with cocoa, sweetener, and milk. It’s smooth, chocolatey, and naturally dairy-free, offering indulgent flavor with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
  • 3–4 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or agave (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
  • Pinch of salt
  • (Optional) 1 tbsp melted dark chocolate or chocolate chips
  • (Optional) 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder
  • (Optional toppings) Fresh berries, nuts, coconut flakes, or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Blend the mixture, slowly adding milk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity as desired. Add melted chocolate or espresso powder for deeper flavor if using.
  5. Transfer to serving cups, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and set.
  6. Serve chilled with your favorite toppings such as fruit, nuts, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
  • Chilling helps the flavor deepen and the pudding firm up.
  • Add a touch of citrus juice (lemon or orange) to prevent browning if storing longer.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and natural sweeteners.
  • Not recommended for freezing, as texture may turn grainy.
