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.

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! :)
Yeah, it’s good, very useful, thanks :)
Yum!!!! I just made this for my kids. My son who won’t go near an avocado, let alone eat one LOVED it! (and I even told him there was avocado in it). I substituted 1/4 cup of vanilla almond milk for the coconut oil and peanut butter instead of the almond butter (my husband had eaten all the almond butter) and it tasted great. Thank you so much for the recipe, it’ definitely a keeper! Much Aloha : )

Oh yes the name says it all! I was looking for healthy nondairy spins on sweets and came across your website! Its a life saver because I have such a sweet tooth. I’m very much addicted to this now! Thanks for all sharing all of this great information! :)
Just made this today! Absolutely delicious!!! It is most definitely the best chocolate pudding I’ve ever tasted!! :)
OH MY this is delicious. I used 1/4 C of maple syrup instead of the agave and replaced 1tbsp of the cacao powder with Amazing Greens chocolate powder. It is SOOOO fabulous. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I totally tasted the avocado in this!!!! :-) It was my first raw dessert, though, and I also substituted peanut butter for the almond butter, so those two things may be making a difference in my world! Consistency was just like regular pudding, but it was a little warm since everything had been through the food processor. Its super super creative, though, and my hats off to you for this!
I can taste the avocado when it’s warm too…I def prefer it chilled. Glad you tried your first raw recipe!
I tried this delicious recipe for my dessert for Thanksgiving and was just delicious. I substituted pureed organic pear and carrot for the sweetener and it was amazing! I avoid all sweeteners even agave. Didn’t even need the vanilla – although think I will try that next time. Thank you for sharing Angela!
This is THE BEST pudding ever! It is getting me through law school studying… and PMS…and chocolate cravings! Thank you!
This recipe is freaking awesome! I’ve made other avo-choco puddings but this one trumps them any day of the week.
We made this but replaced the agave with maple syrup – so delicious!
