Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw these raw chocolate avocado pudding ingredients into a high-speed blender. Start blending on slow and then crank up the blending speed to high.
- 2. Blend this sucker until puddingy and gooooood! You might need to start and stop this a few times to get it to blend properly because the dates will require more blending than pudding recipes that don't contain dates. If you have a good blender (AKA Vitamix or Blendtec) then you should be able to get this super smooth.
- 3. You may need to add a tiny bit of extra water to facilitate blending. But if doing so only add TINY bits at a time! Try not to add extra water or it'll end up watering it down and changing the consistency.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Most raw chocolate avocado puddings do not contain dates. Rather, instead they include a lot more agave nectar or raw honey to get the pudding to sweeten up. However, I don't like to use too much honey in this one, so instead in this raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe I call for dates and just a bit of honey.
I recommend soaking your dates first in a warm water for an hour or so so that they are soft and easier to blend, especially If you do not have a high-speed blender.
Although you can eat this chocolate pudding right away, I find that this raw pudding tastes best when chilled in the fridge for at least a few hours.
This is a small recipe that makes four small servings. Feel free to double if you'd like more. And more choco puddding is always a good thing!

Now I'm confused about this logic. What you are saying is, that if you take a small amount of full fat, it is in fact low in fat, because it is only one spoon? :D
Sorry, but avocado is not low in fat whatsoever, but it is one of the best fats which are really important and good for you, so why not to say it as it is? :) I can have this pudding as one portion from one avocado, and be happy.

Is it possible to freeze this? Pondering making ice lolly type portions.

Yummmy! Yes freeze away, Gina. You might want to add 1/4 cup cashews because higher fat content freezes better (less icy)

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
This was wonderful! I am vegan so I used agave instead of honey, I am sure maple syrup would work too! I will say that next time I make it I will chuck the dates with water and give that a whirl first. But I did not soak the dates long enough :) But for safe measures. This is my new/official chocolate pudding :)

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
Oops... My store comment I feel put dull sense to the awesome taste that is totally superior to regular store pudding in all aspects. guilt free! Which totally heightens the enjoyment! But, it definitely replaced my favorite unhealthy pudding.

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
I didn't get to the final product because my blender started smoking and the motor burned out along the way... but chunky texture aside, the taste was fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
Just made this with my sister and it tastes a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Just perfect! We used pure and organic maple syrup instead of the honey. Could even be used as a pie filling.

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
Made this for my 13 year old son who suffers from a lot of food allergies and he absolutely loves it! He actually takes this to school every day and brags to his friends about having chocolate pudding. He even knows it has avocado in it and still loves it :) Thank you!

So awesome. Both that he can eat it and that he brags about it! :)

I can't wait to try this! Is honey necessary or is it just a sweetener? (I would rather make it without if possible!)

Hi Jess,
The honey is used as a sweetener, but you can definitely leave it out since the dates will sweeten somewhat

Hi Charlene, I've never used it myself but I am sure you could make that work

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
I don't know who liked this more.. me or my 5 year old daughter! She reacts so badly to so many ingredients in the desserts/sweet treats that often she just goes without. It's nice to have healthy alternatives for her now! The last time we made this we added raw cacao nibs.. they add a raw little crunch/pop to each bite. Loved it!
