Creamy 10-Minute Raw Chocolate Pudding Made with Avocados

Recipe Description:

Are you in the mood for a creamy chocolate pudding? Do you have ripe avocados on hand? In this post, I will show you how to make a most delicious (and healthy) raw & vegan chocolate pudding in under 10 minutes!

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: n/a

Servings: 4

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled

2/3 cup of pure, fair trade cacao powder (unsweetened) - I use Pacari

3/4 cup homemade almond milk or coconut milk or whole raw cow's milk

4-5 tablespoons of 100% pure Grade B maple syrup (use 1-2 tablespoons if also using dates)

3 organic medjool dates (only use if cutting down on maple syrup)

1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil

1 teaspoon fair trade vanilla extract

handful of chia seeds (optional)

handful of pure, fair trade cacao nibs (unsweetened) - I use Pacari (optional)

unsweetened, unsulphured coconut shavings (optional)

Recipe Instructions:

Slice avocado: Cut avocado horizontally and scoop out flesh with a spoon.

Blend all well: Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend.

Taste test: Add more liquid if too thick, and adjust sweetness and chocolatiness (hah- don't think that's a word) as necessary.

Refrigerate and serve: The pudding tastes better cold, so stick it in the fridge for a couple of hours (or in the freezer for 20 minutes) to cool a bit. Add some cacao nibs, coconut shavings, and walnuts (if you wish) for extra crunch. And savor every chocolaty bite!
