Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 whole ripe avocados Must be really ripe for creaminess—organic is a plus for quality.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Using Ghirardelli is recommended for richness.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey Adjust based on your sweetness preference.
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk Full-fat for creaminess; can substitute with almond milk for a lighter version.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Always use pure for significant flavor difference.
  • a pinch salt To enhance the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into your blender.
  2. Pour in the cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy; this should take about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stop and taste your pudding. Feel free to add more sweetener or cocoa based on your preference. Blend again until combined.
  5. Transfer your pudding into individual serving bowls or a single container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. Top with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped coconut cream, or shaved dark chocolate before serving.

Notes

Over-blending can make the pudding too thin; stop when you achieve a creamy consistency. For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients.
