If you’ve been following our blog for a while you know that we are big fans of avocado! This recipe takes avocado, some cocoa, a little sweetener, a splash of coconut milk and vanilla – and makes a lovely silky chocolate pudding.

It is similar to the Paleo Chocolate Pudding I made a while ago, but the recipe below is quicker and a nice variation! I discovered it sort of by accident – as luck would have it – while trying to make a Paleo Chocolate Pie.. turned to soup.. turned to pudding!

Ingredients for the Topping

• 1 cup almond meal
• 4-5 dates, pitted

Ingredients for Filling

• 2 ripe avocados
• 2-4 tbsp. cocoa (depending on how dark you like it)
• 1-2 Tbsp agave syrup (or you could use maple or honey)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (adjust for consistency)
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Directions

• In food processor, pulse almond meal and dates until crumbs form
• For filling – combine all ingredients and blend with an inversion blender until smooth
• Layer filling and topping in individual serving dishes

Enjoy!
