Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus more to taste (see notes for sugar-free option)
- 1 cup cacao powder
- 1/3 cup raw almond butter, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon natural vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
- 4 medium avocados, pitted and peeled
Instructions
-
Throw the almond milk, maple syrup (or birch xylitol and stevia), cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt into your high-speed blender, and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds until well combined.
-
Add the avocado, secure the lid, remove the center lid cap, and insert the tamper. Process on high for 20 to 30 seconds using the tamper to guide the ingredients through the blades. (You may need to stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the container) until smooth and creamy.
-
Spoon into glasses, and chill the individual servings for a few hours before serving.
-
Serve with ice cream or cashew cream, fresh fruit, and crushed nuts. (See post for suggestions.)
