  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large avocados, chilled
  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup raw cacao powder
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Using ripe avocados ensures a smooth and creamy pudding texture.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the full fat coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. These ingredients add sweetness, creaminess, and depth of flavor to the pudding.
  3. Incorporate raw cacao powder: Add the raw cacao powder to the blender. This provides the rich chocolate flavor that defines the pudding.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed for even blending.
  5. Chill the pudding: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and develop the flavors.
  6. Add optional toppings: Before serving, sprinkle the pudding with roughly chopped hazelnuts and a pinch of sea salt to enhance texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best texture and taste.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to preference for sweetness.
  • Raw cacao powder has a more intense and slightly bitter chocolate flavor compared to processed cocoa powder.
  • Chilling the pudding helps it thicken and improves flavor melding.
  • Optional toppings add a nice texture contrast but can be omitted for a smooth pudding.
