Before you trust my opinion on this avocado pudding recipe, I think it's important to know that I don't like avocados that much. Sure, they're great in guacamole, but I'd never eat one straight with a spoon. That's why I'm so excited about this recipe. It actually does taste like a rich, chocolate pudding, without using dairy or refined sugar. I can't wait for you to try it!

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
¼ cup cacao or cocoa powder , plus more to taste
¼ cup maple syrup , plus more to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk of choice
pinch of salt

Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado flesh, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and salt. Secure the lid and blend until smooth.
Taste the pudding and add additional cocoa powder or maple syrup, if needed. Each avocado will taste differently, so start by adding an extra tablespoon of each if you can still taste the avocado. You may need to add up to 2 tablespoons of each ingredient, depending on the size of your avocados. Blend until smooth.
Serve the pudding right away with any toppings you love, such as chocolate shavings, coconut whipped cream, or fresh raspberries. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again.

Notes

Nutrition information is for a quarter of the batch, using 1/4 cup of maple syrup. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

- Small Batch Option: If you want to make a half batch with only 1 avocado, use a mini food processor or a very narrow blender pitcher for blending.
- Fruit-Sweetened Option: Replace the maple syrup with 4 to 6 pitted Medjool dates and add 1/4 cup water for blending. If you don't have a high-speed blender, start by blending the dates with water first, then add in the rest of the pudding ingredients.

- Hide the Avocado Flavor: If you have a particularly potent-tasting avocado, try adding 1/2 cup of frozen fruit to the mix. I love using frozen cherries or raspberries. You can also add extra cacao or maple syrup to mask the flavor even more.
