Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Avocado Pudding


  • Author: Luciana
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A rich, fudgy, and creamy no-bake dessert that uses ripe avocados for texture without any avocado taste. This sugar-free pudding is ready in minutes and is perfect for those seeking a healthy, nutrient-dense treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados (about 1 cup / 230g flesh)
  • 1/2 cup / 60g high-quality dark chocolate (70% or 85%), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons / 10g unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup / 60-120ml unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 23 tablespoons / 30-45ml sweetener (maple syrup, erythritol, or monk fruit)
  • 1 teaspoon / 5ml pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, for enhanced chocolate flavor)

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the bright green flesh into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Add the almond milk (start with 1/4 cup), vanilla extract, and sweetener to the blender. Pulse briefly to mix liquids with the avocado.
  3. Add the chopped dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and espresso powder (if using).
  4. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until the mixture is completely smooth, glossy, and free of chunks.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, salt, or vanilla as needed. Add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time if the pudding is too thick.
  6. Transfer the pudding into serving glasses or a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and meld flavors.
  7. Serve chilled, topped with whipped coconut cream, fresh berries, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

Ensure avocados are very ripe for a smooth texture. Do not skip the blending time; thorough blending is key to removing any graininess. The pudding will thicken in the fridge. If it becomes too thick upon storage, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen it. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
