Gina’s Choco-Cado Pudding
I have wanted to make an avocado-based pudding for a while now (thanks for the reminders in yesterday’s discussion!!!). I asked Gina if she had a recipe that I could use and she provided me with her Choco-Cado Pudding recipe. It was super easy to whip up and it tastes like a dream!! I made a few small modifications that are noted beside her recipe.
[Recipe Source: The Fitnessista]
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup agave (dark) (I used 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup water (I forgot to add the water, but I loved how thick it was!)
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder
- small pinch sea salt
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (I used coconut butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions: Throw all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
It takes less than 2-3 minutes to prepare!
I asked Gina to marry me on Twitter after I made this. That pretty much sums it up! 
I have never in my life tasted a pudding so delicious. Gahhhhhhhhhhh.
And no, you cannot taste the avocado at all.
Avocados are also rich in Vitamin K, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Oleic acid, and carotenoids!

That pudding looks amazing!! Can you taste the avocado in it?
Nope not at all!!
How many servings does that make?
umm…one…
jk…I’d say 2-3…its RICH!!!
Hm…so does this chocolate pudding count as a serving of fruit?
of course
I just made this… really if I had to make this again I would totally skip the agave nectar… (I put 1/4 cup) it is so (too) sweet and rich that 2 spoons and I had enough…
I’m still on the fence as to whether I like avocado or not… can you taste the avocado or does it the pudding just taste like chocolate?
Looks delicious though!
yes it tastes like the best chocolate pudding in the world and you cant taste the avocado at all!
I think my computer just malfunctioned from the food porn that was just viewed. I am going to have to make this in the near future!!!
bahaha
OHMIGOODNESS that is some major food porn. How delish!
Oh my Ange! I need to make this pudding once lent is OVER!!!
LOVE the resources idea!! And OMG, if that isn’t food porn, I don’t know what is. I HAVE to try that!!!
hehe, I loved the food porn warning. The people that sit near me do probably wonder why I look at pictures of food all day. I’m excited that I have allll of these ingredients on hand AND my sweet tooth has been out of control lately. Thanks!!
That looks amazing!!
Email coming your way!
yeah maybe I should have listened when you said not too look at work!! ahh all I am going to think about all day is that!!
Also are you just looking for healthy living blogs in general?? or do you need to have some sort of niche.. i.e. Operation Beautiful
It can be any type of food or health blog
that pudding looks so amazing! i can’t believe how incredible it looks…but i shouldn’t be surprised since it’s from Gina and featured on here
emailing you in a few!
This looks so good!! I’ve always wanted to make a pudding with avocado!
That pudding has to be good. You and Gina @ Fitnessista are my favorites.
That looks AMAZING!!! And I’m not even a chocolate person….
Dang I just ate my avocado on Tuesday night! I will have to get more!
major food porn! lol looks wonderful!
I made a similar pudding based on a recipe from Marni Wasserman’s blog. It had dates in it too. soooo good!
I like the idea of sweetening with dates. I don’t do agave. Thanks for the idea!
whhhhhhhhhhhhhhy did I give up chocolate for Lent?
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?!!!!!
Ditto!! Waaah!!!!!!
what kind of vanilla do you use?

Now that truly is food porn.
Fabulous idea to create a resource list! Love it.
Wow those photos are amazing! I need to go get some avocados to make this ASAP.
Oh god, I cannot wait to try that pudding!
You read my mind! I have a bunch of avocados that are heading towards pudding-land today!
I love how you can’t taste the avocados AT ALL!
That looks delicious! I definitely need to try that, especially since it’s dairy free.
I consider my blog, Naturally Frugal a healthy living blog, but it’s up to you if you think it’s worth to put up
However, I have no idea how to embed a link so if you could help us out that would be great!
of course email away!
see here for how to embed a link: I just made a demo in GMAIL: http://images.ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Untitled3.jpg
I had seen avocado based puddings before but was always reluctant to try them. This has convinced me – it looks phenomenal!!!
I do love a good choco-avocado pudding! This one looks fabulous (love that you left out the water–thick IS better!). Quick question re: embedded links in emails: do you do it the same way as in a comment (ie, start with html code, a= href, etc)?
I just made a demo in GMAIL: http://images.ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Untitled3.jpg
Mmmmmmmmmmm! I am most definitely making this tonight!
What is the difference between coconut oil and coconut butter?
coconut butter has the flesh of the coconut mixed in
Its very thick and creamy.
where do you get your coconut butter. I can only find coconut oil…
That pudding looks awesome, i tried making something liek that before, and it tasted AWFUL. might need to try this one!
I love creamy desserts. I love avocados. I love chocolate. This pudding looks like heaven on a spoon!
Yummm! Looks FANTASTIC!!!
I just emailed you
Oh my! That looks soooooooooo rich
That looks A-freaking-mazing! You can seriously see the richness from those pictures!
Thanks (and thanks to Gina) for sharing
WOWZA. That is all i have to say
Yummy! Emailed you, too.
Oh that pudding looks so good!
Sent you an email, thanks.
I used to make avocado pudding all the time and somehow forgot about it, but I remembered early this week while grocery shopping. Now I’m just waiting for the avocado to ripen.
Isn’t coconut butter another name for coconut oil? If not, what kind do you use?
coconut butter has the flesh of the coconut mixed in Its very thick and creamy. The kind I have now is by Artisana.
Ohhh, thanks!
You weren’t kidding with your warning!!! This looks super rich and delicious.
I agree that this recipe is enough for maybe one person. Maybe.
I think I need to get over my fear of avocado and try this. It looks delicious!
I believe this is almost the exact recipe from the March/April issue of the Vegetarian Times. Great magazine
hey kristina,
there are many versions of chocolate avocado pudding- it’s a very common treat in the raw food world and doesn’t have many ingredients.
i promise that this particular version is a gina original
