    How To Make Avocado Chocolate Pudding

    The key to this wonderful chocolate avocado pudding is perfectly ripe avocados. If it’s not ripe enough it’ll be like blending rocks. If it’s too ripe then it won’t taste good. Be sure and check out this article to determine when an avocado is ready to use.

    Once you get the perfect avocados you simply throw FIVE ingredients into a food processor and blend until it’s rich and creamy. That’s it! Delicious and healthy avocado chocolate pudding.

    Just be sure you peel the avocado first.

    I know, it seems like it’s too good to be true. But, isn’t it good to know some things are just good and easy? I think so.

    Is Avocado Chocolate Pudding Healthy

    Yes! Avocados contain nearly 20 essential vitamins and minerals. And, one of the most noteworthy is fiber. So, you’ll not only feel fuller faster but probably get a good poop out of it. Stellar!

    But, keep in mind, avocados are still high in fat so this should not be something you have three times a day. Just sayin’…

    I would also suggest you look at what Dr. Michael Greger has to say in this video as well concerning the benefits of eating avocados.

    How Long Does Avocado Chocolate Pudding Keep

    Honestly, I don’t know. It’s never lasted that long in my house. But, I can tell you it’s best when eaten right away. If you are having a dinner party or gathering you can make ahead and let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.

    You can also freeze it, but I would recommend making fudge pops or chocolate popsicles.

        Make your dates paste first then add in place of the maple syrup. This is a good recipe for the past: https://eatplant-based.com/date-paste/

      So good! I added coffee soy milk instead of unsweetened almond milk which gave a hint of coffee taste in the dessert. Delicious.

      I made this recipe this evening, for Valentine’s Day, and we all agreed that it was scrumptious! Although your recipe states that it makes four servings, when I saw that it only contained 1/4 cup of almond milk, I decided to triple the almond milk, cocoa, and maple syrup. I used 1 large and 1 medium avocado, and 1.5 tsp. of vanilla, but left the salt as just a dash. Doubling the recipe would likely have been adequate, but we did eat it all after first consuming my delicious “veganized” beef and dumpling stew.

      I will definitely be making this on the next “non-birthday cake type of” special occasion.

      Still shocked that the avocados are so perfect for this. I had 2 ripe avocados and one was just a day away from getting those dreaded brown spots. So I doubled the recipe and took out 1/2T of the maple syrup from the doubled 1/2C, and it’s sweet enough and delicious. I used soy milk and dark cocoa powder from Spice Jungle. It’s gooooooood! Thanks, Shane!

      Also, do you think date syrup would be a satisfactory replacement for the syrup?

        Date syrup will work fine and I wouldn’t keep it in the fridge more than a couple days.

      The recipe heading states that it makes 4servings but the nutritional facts says two servings. Just wondering which is correct? This recipe seems like a great dessert to share with my husband who doesn’t eat plant based but loves chocolate. I just don’t want to have twice the number of calories than I think I am eating.

      My husband brought home 2 smaller to medium size avocados so decided to make a double batch. Being lazy I just doubled everything. It was fabulous. The only thing I might change would be to reduce the amount of maple syrup.
      Will definitely make this again.

        Hi, Elaine! I hope you do try it and enjoy it. I have added fruit as a topping (blueberries, strawberries, etc.) but have never tried replacing the chocolate with another flavoring. Not sure how that would work with the avocado. I would say, “Go for it!” Just don’t hold me responsible if it doesn’t turn out so well. LOL! Just kidding. Cooking is all about experimenting. Live life on the edge. Peace and feast.

      Ok, so I finally got to try this dessert and all I can say is WOW!!! I never thought an avocado pudding could taste this delicious and chocolatey ?. Certainly ticks all the boxes for those serious chocolate cravings. My 11-year-old, after eating, was stunned to hear it had avocado in it haha. Definitely a new family favourite from now. I did use cacao powder instead of cocoa though, because it’s what I had. Thanks for sharing Shane
