We must warn you; this pudding is exceptionally delicious! You won’t believe that it is made from delicious and healthy avocado!
For the best pudding, make sure your avocados are “just ripe.” You don’t want them overly ripe and mushy. Alternatively, if they are too hard, they will not create a smooth pudding-like texture.
Test them by squeezing gently, and if they give just a little, they are perfect! You also want the flesh to be sweet and green.
The recipe calls for four avocados, but we buy six just in case. Avocados tend to be a tricky fruit with a very short ripening window.
We strongly suggest using a food processor for this recipe. If you don’t have one, you can use a blender or hand mixer. However, a food processor will create the smoothest texture.
The secret to this recipe comes from the combination of cocoa powder and baker’s chocolate. Many recipes call for just one or the other, this recipe combines the two for a perfectly balanced chocolate taste.
As you see in the recipe, a sweetener is a matter of taste. We suggest adding little by little and tasting until you reach your desired sweetness.
This pudding tastes best chilled in the refrigerator for about an hour. This will result in a better texture and taste. It is absolutely delicious on its own or you can get fancy with toppings!
Keto whipped cream is chocolate avocado pudding’s best friend. This would be an impressive dessert for any dinner party topped with whipped cream, nuts, and berries.
