Rich Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding
This creamy and decadent vegan chocolate avocado pudding is a healthy and delicious dessert. The avocado provides a smooth texture and healthy fats, while the cocoa powder gives it a rich chocolate flavor. Perfect for a quick and easy treat!
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2-3 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Almond Milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Pinch of Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegan Chocolate Chips (optional)
Prepare the avocado by removing the pit and skin. Make sure it's ripe for the best texture.
In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add more maple syrup for a sweeter pudding.
Transfer the pudding to serving dishes. If desired, sprinkle with vegan chocolate chips.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken slightly.
