A silky, chocolatey vegan pudding made with ripe avocados, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. This make-ahead dessert is quick, easy, and perfect for a healthy indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of salt to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) plant-based milk.
  5. Blend for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Taste and adjust consistency or sweetness by adding more plant milk or maple syrup if desired, then blend briefly again.
  7. Transfer the pudding to airtight containers or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  8. Serve chilled, topped with optional fresh berries, nuts, or shredded coconut.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid bitterness. Dutch-processed cocoa powder gives a smoother flavor. Chill pudding for at least 2 hours for best texture. Adjust sweetness carefully. Optional add-ins include almond or peanut butter, cinnamon, cayenne, or espresso powder. Can be made without a blender by mashing avocado and whisking ingredients.
