Recently I saw a recipe for Avocado Pudding on facebook. Travis was making a Mexican dish, so I thought I'd try this for desert.
Avocado Pudding Recipe
I looked up recipes for, "Avocado Pudding" there are a lot of recipes. Apparently this isn't a new idea.
It's super easy to make. Everything goes in a food processor in any order really. I left the amount of sweetener up to you. At first I just added a drop of plain liquid Stevia. That was fine for Travis that doesn't have a sweet tooth. The boys and I wanted a drop more added to each of our own servings.

I thought just like chocolate bars come with different flavors, you could add flavors into this recipe easily for a different variations.
- NuNaturals Nustevia has different flavors for their liquid Stevia. You could try using a flavored Stevia instead of one without any flavor.
- We just got chocolate bars that had a sprinkle of Cayenne Pepper in them. I could see that in the Avocado Pudding as odd as that sounds, it could work. Just don't add too much. Just a sprinkle!
- Another thought was to add peanut butter powder if you're a peanut butter lover like I am.
- If you don't like Stevia you could use any sweetener really: White Sugar, Brown Sugar, Syrup, Agave Syrup are just some ideas.
You will want to make sure it's chilled before eating. I thought the cold milk would chill it enough. I tasted it when I was done making it, and it needs to be chilled more for sure.
I won't say it tastes just like the pudding from the box. It has more of a Mexican Chocolate kind of a taste. It's healthier for sure!
It makes enough for 4 servings. Perfect for my family. If you are making this for just 1 person consider cutting the recipe in 1/2. You can serve it in ramekins like I did, or the Avocado skins like I saw on facebook.
This is a lot like the cocoa avocado smoothie bowls I like to make. If you want to skip on the sweetener, blend in a few dates for sweetness next time.
ReplyDeleteI made avocado pudding once and it did not go over well in my house. Maybe your version is better.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I would like this or not... but I am pretty sure I would try it to at least see how it was :)
