This healthy vegan chocolate avocado pudding is so tasty and you won't believe how easy it is to make! Simply blend avocado, cacao powder and a hint of maple syrup to get a silky rich pudding. No cooking required and done within minutes!

There are 2 glass jars containing a vegan chocolate avocado pudding topped with diced mangoes and cacao nibs. Also on the side, there are 2 spoons, a lined blue and white hand towel and a small white bowl containing more of the diced mangoes.

I make this easy vegan chocolate pudding when I feel like treating myself to something very special, but without all the fuss. It really feels like a treat and I enjoy knowing that I get my serving of healthy fats (oh, hello avocado!) in a chocolate form.

Actually, if I want to make sure I get a portion for myself, then I have to make it after our kids's bedtime. They inhale this pudding like they never had chocolate before!

How to make this vegan chocolate avocado pudding

This dessert is so easy to make and you only need 3 simple ingredients: Avocado + Cacao powder + maple syrup.

The high fat content from the avocado makes them such a great base to make this dessert. No dairy required!

To prepare it, simply process the ingredients together until you reach that fluffy, silky and almost mousse-like texture. You can then adjust the sweetness level to your taste.

I like using the food processor to combine the ingredients together since my larger blender cannot handle a smaller volume. But both the food processor and blender work well.

Tips for the perfect pudding!

Your pudding will be extra delicious if using ripened yet still firm avocados.
Use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder for a non-processed version.
If looking to add even more flavors to your pudding, then try adding a pinch of cinnamon, instant coffee or vanilla extract to the food processor.
This recipe makes for a rather thick pudding. If you prefer a thinner texture, then add a splash of non dairy milk to the food processor until desired consistency.

This dessert is best when served immediately, since the flavor from the blended avocado can change with time.

If you do have leftovers, then store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours and give it a good whisk before enjoying.
