Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare avocados: Remove the flesh from the ripe avocados, discarding the peel and pits. Ensure the avocado flesh is smooth and ripe for the best pudding texture.
- Add ingredients to food processor: Place all avocado flesh, unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt into a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Adjust sweetness and salt: Taste the pudding and add additional maple syrup or salt if desired to balance sweetness and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture; underripe avocados will be bitter and less smooth.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup for different flavor profiles.
- For a vegan option, ensure the sweetener used is plant-based like maple syrup or agave.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness and prevent browning.
