Chocolate Avocado Pudding (vegan, dairy-free)
Description
This vegan, dairy-free chocolate avocado pudding relies on the natural creaminess of ripe avocados blended with full-fat coconut milk for a smooth base. Raw cacao powder provides chocolate intensity, balanced by maple syrup sweetness and enhanced with vanilla extract. The result is a pudding that is both velvety and flavorful without conventional dairy ingredients.
Blending until fully smooth ensures a silky texture. The final pudding is portioned into bowls and can be garnished with crunchy hazelnuts, which add texture, and flaked sea salt, which highlights the chocolate flavor with a subtle savory note. The chilled avocado preserves a fresh, light flavor while maintaining richness.
This pudding serves as a nutritious and indulgent dessert option suitable for those avoiding dairy or animal products, combining healthy fats with chocolate.
Choosing pyramid sea salt flakes for garnish creates a visually distinctive and flavorful finishing touch.
