Superfood Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados I used Hass avocados
- 1½ ounces dark chocolate melted (You can use a double boiler if you like, but I just popped it in the microwave for about 45 seconds.)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2½ tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup You can add more if you like things super sweet, obviously.
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
- Pinch of sea salt
Suggested Toppings:
- Chopped nuts
- Granola
- Dark chocolate shavings
- Toasted coconut
- Fresh berries
- Pomegranate arils
Instructions
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh from the skins into the bowl of a food processor (or high powered blender). Blend on high until perfectly smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. This may take a couple minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and puree until smooth and well combined. Again, make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl if you need to. Taste and add additional honey/maple syrup if it’s not quite sweet enough. You can also add a little more coconut/almond milk if the pudding is too thick. (It all depends on the size/ripeness of your avocados.)
- Transfer pudding to small bowls or ramekins and serve with fancy toppings of your choice.
Notes
*I like to chill my pudding in the fridge for a half hour or so until it’s really cold, but you do you.
**If you want to make this pudding raw, you can replace the 1.5 ounces melted chocolate with another 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and add a little extra maple syrup!
