Looking for a healthy dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth? This 3-Ingredient Chocolate Avocado Pudding is one of my favorite options. It’s naturally sweetened with only fruit and can be whipped up in 5 minutes or less.
I love sneaking avocado into smoothies and puddings because it’s loaded with potassium (it has even more than bananas do!), vitamin K, folate, and healthy fats that will leave you feeling satisfied for hours.
If you’re not the biggest fan of avocado, blending it with fruit is a great way to mask the flavor, while boosting your nutrient intake. If you’d prefer a non-chocolate flavor, try blending it with mango or pineapple for a more tropical twist!
The possibilities are endless, so I hope you’ll enjoy it.
For another variation on avocado pudding, try my Cherry Chocolate Pudding recipe using frozen cherries. It’s a fan favorite!
Ingredients
- 1 very ripe banana , with spots on the skin
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a mini food processor, blend together the banana, avocado and cocoa powder, scraping down the bowl as needed. Continue blending and scraping, until very smooth and creamy.
- Add a splash of water, if needed, to help facilitate blending. If a sweeter flavor is desired, you can also use a splash of maple syrup if desired, or add more banana.
- Enjoy immediately, or chill in the fridge for a colder treat.

Note: When I was pregnant with my first baby I had an aversion to bananas and would make this pudding with dates. It’s a great way to reach your 6 dates a day goal during your last trimester. So, feel free to swap out the bananas if you feel inclined! You’ll just need to soak them in water to soften them up, or add a splash of water to this recipe to help them break down in the blender or food processor.

Reader Feedback: What’s your favorite treat when a craving hits? I’ve been known to carry entire dark chocolate bars in my purse, in case of an emergency.
Hi I came across your website and there some recipes that I can use for my grandson who is autistic non verbal…there are so many things in can’t eat. This pudding what other flavor can I use instant of cocoa powder? He can not eat chocolate. Would appreciate it thanks love your recipes going through the list.
Maybe you could try blending a frozen fruit into it, instead of the cocoa powder? I think frozen cherries or raspberries make a really nice flavor!
I was so happy to find this recipe while eliminating sweets and needing to help my sweet tooth!!
What do you consider the serving size?
I can’t wait to try this!!
Do you think frozen avocado chunks would suffice?
Thanks!
Wonderful recipe and healthy too, but, your calorie count is off: Half avocado:130 calories, one banana:110 calories, one tablespoon cocoa powder: 12 calories, which add up to 252 calories. For those who care about counting calories, such a miscalculation can matter.✌
This is delicious. I recommend a tiny pinch of good salt to heighten the flavors. Also a splash of vanilla is good. It absolutely does not taste of avocado. Even the banana flavors is quite subdued.
Yum! This dessert got rave review from my guests! I doubled the recipe & topped with fresh strawberries and coconut flakes.
how long will this stay good for in the fridge?
