Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding is lusciously rich and creamy with deep chocolate flavor...but secretly healthy!
Ingredients
1 medium ripe Haas avocado
½ cup coconut milk (homemade or store-bought full-fat canned), or any milk you like
¼ cup creamy unsweetened peanut butter or almond butter (optional; use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter to keep it paleo)
4-6 tablespoons pure maple syrup (more or less to taste; see Note)
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 pinches sea salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Put all ingredients except the unsweetened, desiccated coconut into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Transfer to 2 individual serving dishes, top with coconut if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Sweetener: You can use honey instead of maple syrup if keeping this vegan isn't a concern. Also, liquid or powdered stevia can be used in place of maple syrup.
