Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- Fresh raspberries (or blueberries or strawberries)
- Toasted almonds
- Drizzle of almond butter
- Non-dairy chocolate chips
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place the ripe avocado, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond milk, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides and bottom to ensure no avocado chunks remain.
- Chill the Pudding: Transfer the smooth chocolate pudding mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. Chilling helps thicken the pudding and enhances the flavors.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top the pudding with fresh raspberries or your choice of berries, toasted almonds, a drizzle of almond butter, non-dairy chocolate chips, and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

- Substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk if preferred.
