Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and make-ahead vegan dessert featuring creamy avocado blended with rich cocoa and natural sweeteners for a healthy indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cut 2 ripe avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/3 cup maple syrup to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup almond milk.
  4. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  5. Add a pinch of sea salt and pulse briefly to mix.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired, blending again for 10 seconds.
  7. Spoon pudding into 4-6 small serving cups or mason jars.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill and set.
  9. Before serving, garnish with optional toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or shredded coconut.

Notes

Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but are not mushy. Blend on high speed for a smooth texture. Add a pinch of salt to enhance chocolate flavor. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of almond milk to loosen. Can be made nut-free by substituting almond milk with oat or coconut milk. Pudding keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
