Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/8 teaspoon espresso powder
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (45 g) chopped dark chocolate or vegan chocolate chips
  • Optional: Fresh berries or shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut 2 ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into your blender or food processor.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/3 cup (80 ml) pure maple syrup to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or preferred plant milk.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Optionally add 1/8 teaspoon espresso powder for a mocha twist.
  5. Blend everything on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides midway.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more maple syrup or plant milk as needed, then blend again for 15 seconds.
  7. Spoon the pudding into small bowls or jars for individual servings.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for best texture. Blend thoroughly and scrape down sides to avoid chunks. Adjust sweetness to taste. Chill pudding for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor and texture. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of plant milk before serving. If too thin, re-blend with additional cocoa powder.
