Avocado Chocolate Pudding

This avocado chocolate pudding is healthy and can be made dairy free!  Use only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to whip up this thick and creamy chocolaty avocado pudding.  A delicious paleo, gluten free, vegan and dairy free dessert!

Do you eat dessert every night?  We don't, but I really wish we did/could!  It probably wouldn't be a wise choice, though, because dessert in my mind is something sweet and sugary, usually heavy laden with bad calories that push you over the edge.  I know dessert doesn't have to be this way, but that's a mental battle I have to get over.  😉

Yes, you can go a healthier route and serve fruit for dessert with some sort of low-fat yogurt dip, or grill it and call it a night (which both can be appetizing in my mind, depending on the day).  Or, you can inject all sorts of alterations into a recipe to make it "lighter".  But, again, these are not the ideal desserts in my mind.

Plus, who has TIME to make dessert every day?  I sure don't!

You can imagine my delight when I came across this recipe for chocolate pudding with avocados that I don't have to feel bad about eating every day.  (Not that I would, but I could... <a-hem, cough, cough.>)

This avocado chocolate pudding contains no whole milk, heavy whipping cream, cornstarch, or sugar that you find in most recipes.  The base of this chocolate pudding, and what makes it creamy, is the avocado!  This means you can use a lighter milk, or a dairy free milk (like almond milk, coconut milk, etc.) because you're not relying on it as the main substance.

This chocolate pudding with avocados is then sweetened with agave nectar or honey creating a dessert I wouldn't feel guilty about eating every night.  (You could even use maple syrup!)  And, it's a dessert recipe to keep in my stash for serving to my gluten free, dairy free, Paleo or vegan friends.

This avocado chocolate pudding is thrown together within minutes, maybe even seconds.  There is no ingredient prep, except to quickly peel and chop the avocado, then you plop everything into your blender or food processor.  You can even use your hand held mixer.

Don't you love giving a dish to someone and not telling them what's in it until they've almost eaten the whole thing?  Since the avocado taste is masked well, Ben didn't even taste a hint of it until I told him. Then he said he could taste it just a little, but it didn't bother him at all.  He loved it!  Look who else loved it:

It truly seems like you're eating a normal delectable homemade chocolate pudding!  You can adjust the ingredient amounts very easily to achieve the perfect taste for you.  My preference is listed below.

Now go fool your family or impress your vegan, Paleo and dairy free friends.  I can't wait to hear your thoughts and stories on this one!
