Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Nutrient rich and super simple, this chocolate avocado pudding makes a great snack or dessert.

Hi Friends!

Today I’m finally sharing that delicious Chocolate Avocado Pudding recipe I’ve been teasing you with for the past week. I’ve never been a huge pudding fan myself but hubby likes chocolate pudding and I’ve had it on my list of things to make for a while now. I’ve looked at TONS of recipes and was just never crazy about the ingredients that most of them used.

When I did find a few recipes that I liked the ingredients in, several of them used bananas and nut butter to thicken them. Hubby doesn’t like bananas and I wanted this to be truly chocolatey, not overshadowed by nut butter mixed in.

I decided to use dates as the base. They’re naturally sweet and I like how you can puree them to be totally smooth. I figured I could combine them with avocado for a thick, smooth pudding. I added a little cocoa powder to get the chocolate flavor and some milk to help blend it all together and voila! 4 ingredients and crazy delicious.

Here’s the recipe (inspired by Minimalist Baker):

Author: Lindsay L Serves: 3
Ingredients

½ – ⅔ cup chopped, pitted dates
½ cup smashed avocado
½ cup milk
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
Optional toppings: bananas, nut butter, seeds, etc

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Taste and add more dates if not sweet enough or more milk if too thick for your preference.
Top as desired

Notes Start with ½ cup dates. Taste once it’s mixed and add more if necessary to reach desired sweetness.

I used 2% milk but any milk should work. If you want it a little thinner, add more milk.

When I told hubby what was in this pudding, he said “No f*!@king way!”.

Mind. Blown.

Since I love peanut butter and banana I chose to add those to mine as toppings. Feel free to add whatever toppings you want or eat it as is.

Keep in mind that while I would consider this a healthy pudding option full of nutrients, it’s still calorie dense….so a small serving is all you need! If you divide one batch into 3 small servings, it’ll probably around 225 calories.
