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! :mrgreen:
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!

Have a wonderful Thursday! :)
NOT FAIR. I am on day 3 of a 30 Day Sugar Cleanse, and while technicially I can have gentle/natural sweeteners like agave, I’m trying to lay off the sweet stuff altogether (aside from fruit). This is too much temptation to deal with! NOM.
Mmmmm…looks divine!!! Avocado chocolate pudding is definitely taking over the world!
That has always looked so yummy to me!
I have been meaning to try that for a long time…but by the time my avocados get ripe I always and up making guac or putting them in salad.
Those decadent pictures have renewed my resolve for at least one of those four little avocados in my fruit bowl to make it into a chocolate pudding!!
Omg, the pudding looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g-l-y good! Must make it soon!
It looks so creamy and delicious, yumm! I love avocados and chocolate, I can only imagine the creaminess the avocado lends to this concoction!
Thank you and Gina for sharing!

Ah! I made a key lime pudding with lime juice and avocado once, but this looks OMFG amazing. I just happen to have half an avocado…methinks a half-batch is in order! Thanks for the recipe!
That is such an interesting idea.
thanks for posting my recipe, lovely lady!
would you mind if i used your pics and posted it on the blog??

Does that really taste as good as it looks? I made vegan brownies not too long ago and they looked good, but I did not care for the taste.
Beautiful picture with the spoon – I always love those shots!
it tastes BETTER than it looks.

Could you use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder? Hopefully that will be a yes as I have some in the fridge that I have been trying to figure out the best way to use up. I tried just adding it to vanilla yogurt, but it doesn’t really taste that good.
It looks amazing . .. I actually want to make some and then give it to my husband to try and see what he thinks . . . if course without telling him what’s in it . .bwah ha ha!
Im not sure on this one, maybe Gina could offer her expertise? :)
definitely- i use cacao powder in mine (the raw stuff!) :)
Thanks guys! Now to play a trick on my husband! :0
Ahhh looks delicious!!

I am so excited about my glass straws! Thank you!!!
Also, the pudding looks heavenly – I’m making my hubby take me to the grocery store so we can make it for dessert tonight. :) Can’t wait to taste it!
This looks awesome. My husband loves avocados so I bet he’ll even try this–even though it’s healthy.
How delicious! I may need to make this soon….
yeah, i always want to buy avocado at the grocery store but i have no idea what to make with it. now i want to try this too :)
You absolutely were not lying! This pudding is wicked delicious. So thick and smooth and creamy. Mmmmmmmm. Thank-you, thank-you for sharing!!!
Avocado based? Really? I HAVE to try this!
