Chocolate Avocado Pudding. Yep, It’s a Thing.
When life hands you avocados… make pudding?
Apparently so.
Though I have to admit that my first choice would be guacamole. However, sometimes life hands you avocados when you already have a large vat of guacamole in your fridge because life is so, so good. In that case, yes… make pudding. After you’ve OD-ed on your fair share of avocado toast.
Obviously.
You may remember last year that I made chocolate avocado pudding and then proceeded to eat it like… every single day of my life. My go-to recipes came from a mesh of Lisa and Jessica’s, then sort of warped into this version that I perfected to my taste buds and have been making ever since. Yeah. Melted chocolate is where it’s at. Very true story: I ate this practically every afternoon for a little snack before yoga for maybe two months? Three months? It’s full of antioxidants! It was the best thing ever. It was also the hugest thing ever, because I get bored super easily. Especially with my food. I haven’t even eaten dinner tonight yet and I’m already bored with it.
Not even joking.
The other thing is that I really always want to eat this for dessert but I have an intense, passionate abhorrence for cleaning my food processor. I loathe it more than I loathe cleaning normal things which is a lot. Especially when the sun goes down and I’m exhausted and watching new-but-terrible-but-still-worth-it 90210 or something. The sun going down is pretty much my gauge for productivity so yeah… daylight savings time can happen right now please.
Anyway, that’s how I satisfying my obsession. Chocolate avocado pudding for an afternoon snack. I think I’m bringing it back.
If you’re an avocado hater, well… I’m not going to tell you that you can’t taste the avocado at all. I mean, sometimes you can’t whatsoever. I believe that it depends on your crazy mental state and the ripeness of your fruit, which will differ each time but can be somewhat managed with sweetener and cocoa or chocolate. I use honey because I can’t get on the agave train and overall, I just find honey to be a bit more versatile for my everyday kitchen. I put it on Greek yogurt and mix it with peanut butter and I’d put it in tea if I drank it, which I never will because that stuff tastes like dirty water. Oh yes it does.
Ack.
If you’re an avocado lover, then you’ll probably adore this pudding, will rarely be able to taste the avocado and will soon become addicted to this little treat that is totally worth dragging out your food processor and cleaning that giant hunk of junk. Ugh. So annoying. Can’t someone create a self-cleaning processor? I think it would make millions.
I think the moral of the story is that everything (especially Monday) is better with chocolate.
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup light coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 ounces of dark chocolate, 72% or higher, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
for topping
- whipped cream, coconut whipped cream, sprinkles, cocoa nibs
Instructions
- Remove avocados from the skin (and pit) and place in a food processor. Blend until combined and creamy. Add in all remaining ingredients, blending until pureed, scraping down the sides when needed to combine. Taste and season/sweetened additionally if desired. Blend for a good 1-2 minutes until completely creamy, then serve with desired toppings.
- Note: I have kept this in the fridge for about 24 hours successfully, just make sure to immediately place it in a seal tight container. If you would like a smaller serving, I’d suggest cutting the recipe in half.

re. self-cleaning food processor: well, it’s a blender, but it self-cleans and is sooo much easier than food processing: Vitamix. https://www.vitamix.com/ After making your pudding, fill up your dirty vitamix about 2/3 with water. Add a drop of dishsoap. Turn the Vitamix on high for 2-3 minutes. (Eat some pudding during this 2-3 minutes!). Rinse and flip upsidedown to dry. It’s that easy. I don’t work for them but I should!

Stick blender. That’s the the answer for all those who hate getting out and cleaning food processors and blenders (ME!!). I just made this in a bowl with my stick blender and it came out perfectly silky and smooth. The best part, other than how delicious and addictive this is, is simply rinsing off the end of the stick blender. Voila! :)
Just made this off the cuff with what I had in the cupboards… didn’t have any chocolate and only had the 2 avocados, but still tastes sooooo good! Quite sickly, which is good as I thought I might justify eating it all because of what it is made of. But instead after a few mouthfuls I had completely satisfied that dangerous chocolate craving! Great recipe, thanks! x
I hate dark chocolate. Is this do-able with milk chocolate?

For that sentence that says “if you’re an avocado hater, you can’t even taste it!” This is absolutely not true. If you have the hatred of avocado like I do, I couldn’t even handle the smell of this. My parents loved it. But if you are an avo hater who is trying to have an open mind… don’t.

I just made this pudding, and it was really interesting. For me, I could 100% taste the avocado… and I kind of didn’t hate it. Once I got used to it, it was quite nice, actually. Thanks for the recipe

Once you get past the intense avocado taste, it’s pretty good. I found that it needed more honey to balance out the bitterness. Overall its a good snack but you better like avocados.
I have to try this asap! Must go buy more avocados.
I used hot water and a drop of dish liquid in my food processor or blender to “pre-clean” them right after use. Just don’t fill them more than 2/3 full or you will have more of a mess than when you started.
