Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe

Total Time

Shelf Life
3 days in fridge
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado (ripe and at peak of perfection please!)
- 1/2 cup dates
- 2 1/2 tablespoons raw cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup water + 1/8 cup water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
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

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!

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
Literally the best snack there ever was. And my current obsession. I love it over half frozen strawberries.

Can i use 1 cup dates instead of honey? And almond milk instead of water maybe?

Hi Mumin!
Too bad about the almond milk - although I would have said go for it! I can't imagine that it would have been too much of an issue... perhaps you ate too much ;)
I suggest leaving the date amount as written, and simply omitting the honey (or greatly reducing it) instead of tweaking the amount of dates. It won't be QUITE as sweet, but it will turn out fine.

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
I very rarely make recipes I see online (unless I've looked for them). I saw this recipe shared on a page I follow today, and I went and made it today. It was absolutely incredible. I basically need a Vitamix, as my blender wasn't quite powerful enough to get it 100% smooth. But wow - it gave me that chocolate kick that I needed, with the rich creaminess from the fatty avocado. Wonderful. Totally genius. Thanks you for creating and sharing! X

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
sounds yummy! But how big are the servings, 'small' isn't very informative?

Hi Corinne. Each serving is approx. 1/3 cup (or 3 ounces). Hope that helps!

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
Brand new raw eaters here :) Trying to get my husbands blood sugars regulated so he doesn't have to go on medication. I am STOKED to find this , because while I'm doing the raw diet along with him to be supportive, I NEED some chocolate :) I just finished making this and it is so very good!!! I can totally see where a Vitamix would come in very handy, but even without .. oh my .. delicious. Thanks so much!

Would a good processor be a good alternative to a blender?

Hi Marla! Normally I say no!!! But in this recipe both (either) will work fine :)
