Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Base
- 2 medium Ripe Avocados (Ensure they are ripe for a smooth texture.)
Chocolate Mixture
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened, sifted to avoid lumps.)
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (Adjust for sweetness as desired.)
- 1/2 cup Almond Milk (Unsweetened, can substitute with other plant-based milk.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence (For flavor enhancement.)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt (To balance sweetness and enhance flavor.)
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl or blender. This creates the creamy, smooth base for the pudding.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Add the sifted cocoa powder to the avocados and mix thoroughly to combine the rich chocolate flavor evenly throughout the base.
- Incorporate Sweeteners and Milk: Pour in the maple syrup and almond milk, then add the vanilla essence and a pinch of sea salt to elevate the overall flavor profile.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even texture with no lumps.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if needed to suit your preference. Mix well again.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls, cover them, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and to firm up the texture for the perfect chilled dessert.
Notes
- Make sure the avocados are fully ripe for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Sifting the cocoa powder helps prevent lumps in the pudding.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup for different sweetness options.
- Use any plant-based milk you prefer if almond milk isn’t available.
- This pudding is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
