Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 3 Tablespoons creamy all-natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (such as coconut, almond, or cow’s milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Coconut cream or whipped cream
- Extra peanut butter for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados and Ingredients: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl of a high-powered blender or food processor. This ensures a smooth, creamy base for your pudding.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk of choice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender with the avocado. These ingredients combine to create the chocolate peanut butter flavor and the right consistency.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to fully incorporate all ingredients and achieve a silky texture.
- Serve or Chill: Spoon the pudding into 4 small dishes. You can serve the pudding immediately if your avocados were cold. Alternatively, chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to enhance texture and flavor, and consume within 2 days.
- Add Optional Toppings: Before serving, top with coconut cream or whipped cream if desired. Drizzle extra peanut butter on top for added richness and presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados: They should be soft and give slightly when pressed, similar to a ripe peach, to achieve a smooth pudding texture. Avoid dark brown or overripe avocados.
- Prefer all-natural peanut butter made with only peanuts and salt for the best flavor and health benefits.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if allergic to peanuts or prefer a different nut flavor.
- Store leftover pudding covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
