This dairy-free chocolate avocado pudding isn’t your childhood chocolate pudding filled with artificial ingredients and jam-packed with preservatives. Instead, you can feel good eating this dessert because it's made with healthy avocados and cacao powder, dairy-free coconut milk, agave or honey, and a splash of vanilla and sea salt. That's it!
By now you may have seen a dozen different versions of the avocado chocolate pudding trending on the internet or in your favorite raw food cookbook, but they aren’t mine. I’ve spent some time in the kitchen, changing, tweaking, adding, and subtracting ingredients to find a scrumptious balance of lightly sweet and creamy chocolate that I think it just perfect for a dairy-free dessert.
The secret to making this recipe even better is letting it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before eating it. Yes, I’ll admit, it may be hard not to eat right away, but I promise it will be worth your wait!
I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you’ve made it please share it with me by tagging @culinarybutterfly on Pinterest.
