Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe

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!

This recipe is amazing, but to get more protein instead of hazelnuts or any kind of nuts I use hemp protein powder which give you nut taste as well and its delicious as well !

I want to make this and freeze it for a frozen custard/ice cream! Do you think it will turn out? I also want to add in full fat raw milk for added creaminess and to avoid ice crystals when frozen, how do you think it will turn out?

Hi Kailie! I don't do raw milk myself, but as long as you are adding some additional fats (like cashews or what you suggested) it'll be fine. BUT you do need to add something, as written it won't freeze well.

Raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe
Thank You!
This is rapidly becoming my staple sweet chocolate fix! Totally loving it!
Although I do admit to adding Stevia as an alternative to the honey ( just keep the cals and sugar levels lower)
Still tastes totally yummy and is so quick n easy to make
Thank you again

@Marie Claire, how much Stevia did you use as an alternative sweetener for the pudding? I just started using stevia due to being diabetic.

You are welcome, Marie-Claire! I'm glad you've found a chocolate go-to! :)

This looks delish but I don't think the nutritional analysis is correct. A medium avocado has over 200 calls and dates are between 65-80 cals a piece. What am I missing? Believe me, I hope your analysis is right because I sure would love some!!

This is per serving size - and there are four servings in this recipe... (number of servings listed in red area on right), make more sense?

Hi - I'm confused now too. You write that "This raw chocolate avocado pudding recipe makes enough for one person. Feel free to double if you'd like more." But it's actually four servings? Which is it?
Thank you.

Gene, sorry for the confusion – I just clarified in the writeup. It makes four small servings.

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.

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!

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.
