It’s been a long time since I shared my avocado pudding recipe. This stuff is incredible. Now is the time to try it.
I hardly ever eat chocolate with peanut butter. Both go together. It was an easy decision to add some healthy granola to this rich, creamy pudding.
You say, “nutritionally dense”? Yes!
- Avocados contain healthy fats and carotenoids, as well as a high level of heart health.
- Bananas are rich in potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber.
- The chocolate contains magnesium and antioxidants.
- Peanut butter is rich in proteins and healthy fats.
This is a healthy pudding bowl, yo.
This pudding is not only rich in texture and flavor but it’s also sweetened naturally with dates. You can use any other natural sweetener that you like – maple syrup or agave are ideal.
You can also customize it. Add less sweetener if you want a more intense chocolate flavor. If you are like me, then you will like your pudding sweeter and add more. This is a very flexible and forgiving recipe.
I think the Coconut Whipped Cream on top and the additional peanut butter are essential. This adds a new level of decadence and a wave of flavor to the dish. Please follow my lead.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ripe avocados
- One large ripe banana
- Half a cup of unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
- Add more peanut butter for the topping.
- 1/2 cup of sweetener (i.e., If not vegan, maple syrup, date paste, agave, or honey can be used (the amount will vary depending on the sweetness you prefer).
- 1/4 cup of almond milk or non-dairy alternative milk (slightly extra if you are using dates).
- Coconut Whipped Cream for topping // optional but recommended
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients, except coconut whip, in a processor until smooth and creamy. To thin/help the mixture, add more dairy-free liquid milk. Add more cocoa to get a deeper chocolate flavor. Add more sweetener to increase sweetness.
- Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it down to prevent the formation of skin. Chill for several hours or overnight.
- Top with salted peanut butter and coconut whipped cream before serving.
- The leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days. However, they are best eaten fresh.
