Print Recipe

A silky, rich, and naturally sweetened vegan chocolate pudding made with ripe avocados, perfect for make-ahead dessert that’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and guilt-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or any plant milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or vegan chocolate chips
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon almond butter or tahini, dash of espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into your blender or food processor bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar.
  3. Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup almond milk or plant milk.
  4. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  5. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve a silky, thick but scoopable texture.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more maple syrup or plant milk if desired, then blend briefly again.
  7. Transfer the pudding into storage containers or individual ramekins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
  8. Serve chilled, garnished with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for best texture and flavor. Scrape down blender sides during blending to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetness to taste. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of plant milk before serving. Optional add-ins like almond butter or espresso powder can enhance flavor and texture. Store in airtight container up to 3 days in fridge or freeze up to 1 month.
