Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 3 Tablespoons creamy all-natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (such as coconut, almond, cow’s milk, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Coconut cream or whipped cream
- Extra peanut butter, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl of a high-powered blender or food processor to ensure smooth blending.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend: Add peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth. Stop the blender once or twice to scrape down the sides and ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Serve or chill: Spoon the pudding evenly into 4 small serving dishes. If using, top with coconut cream or whipped cream and drizzle extra peanut butter over the top. Serve immediately if the avocados were cold, or refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the pudding to chill and thicken. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe avocados for a creamy texture and natural sweetness.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Milk of choice can be any type: dairy or plant-based, depending on dietary preferences.
- The pudding can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Optional toppings add extra richness and flavor but can be omitted for a lower-calorie option.
