Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa), melted
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
Add the cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender with the avocado.
Blend all the ingredients until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Pour the melted dark chocolate into the blender and blend again until fully incorporated into the mixture.
Taste the pudding and adjust sweetness or cocoa content by adding a little more maple syrup or cocoa powder, if desired.
Divide the pudding into individual serving dishes or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to thicken and chill.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped coconut cream, or dark chocolate shavings.
