If you like the idea of avocado pudding, but you don't want to taste the avocado at all, try this cherry chocolate version. It's made with frozen cherries and a touch of almond extract for a flavor you'll crave.

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado , pit removed (~ ½ cup mashed)
1 cup frozen cherries
¼ cup cacao powder
3 tablespoons maple syrup , or more to taste
½ cup milk of choice (like almond or soy milk)
¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

In a high-speed blender, combine the avocado, cherries, cacao powder, maple syrup, milk, and almond extract, if using. Secure the lid and blend until the mixture is smooth.
Once the avocado pudding is evenly blended, taste and adjust any flavoring, as needed. You can add an additional tablespoon of cacao powder for a richer chocolate flavor, or an extra tablespoon of maple syrup for added sweetness.
The pudding should be cold from the frozen cherries, so it's ready to serve right away. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze in popsicle molds for a frozen ice pop later.

Update Note: This recipe was updated in August 2025 with new photos and a slightly tweaked recipe. (I added more cacao and swapped the dates for maple syrup.) If you prefer the original version, use 4 to 5 pitted Mejdool dates instead of the maple syrup.
