Notes

It's okay to use overripe avocados that are beginning to turn brown in this recipe - in fact, this is a great way to use those up!
Don't have unsweetened chocolate? Use 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and omit the melted chocolate.
  • Make it Gluten Free: The great thing about avocado pudding is that you need no thickener - the avocados lend enough creaminess to keep it nice and thick!
  • Keep it Vegan: The recipe is vegan as written.
  • Make it Paleo: I love using date sryup in this recipe, but swapping maple syrup or raw honey will keep this avocado chocolate pudding paleo approved.
  • Make it Keto for a Sugar Free Chocolate Avocado Pudding: Use 1/2 cup of powdered monk fruit sweetener in place of liquid sweetener, and add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk until the consistency is good!
  • For the Family: I use 1/3 cup sweetener in this recipe, and 100% dark chocolate (no sugar added). To make it sweeter for family members who are used regular desserts, either up the sweetener to 1/2 cup, or use a 70% dark chocolate bar instead.
