Helpful Tips
Avocado not ripe yet? Do this! It’s crucial that your avocado is ripe for this pudding to have the right texture. To speed up ripening, place the avocado in a brown paper bag or cardboard box on the counter. A hard avocado should ripen by the next day with this method.
Chill the coconut can. Coconut cream solidifies when cold and separates from the water. By chilling the can before using, the solid coconut cream will stick to the top making it easier to scoop out when you open it.
Common Questions
Can you taste the avocado flavor?
No, this pudding is to not taste the avocado. And, I have a funny story about this - I actually attempted to make an avocado pudding while in college based on a recipe I found and it tasted awful and just like avocado. So, I’m happy to report that this pudding really does not taste like avocado and event though I love avocado, in this situation its the best thing that it just tastes like creamy chocolate pudding.
I thought you said I wouldn’t taste the avocado, but I do!
Ok, if your avocado is over-ripe and slightly brown, it will have an avocado taste. This is because the oxidation enhances the bitterness. If this is the case after a taste test, add 1 tablespoon more of cocoa powder and maple syrup until your taste buds are happy.
Can I use a food processor?
Yup! A food processor or blender will both work great for this creamy avocado pudding!
My pudding seems really thick, what can I do?
If your pudding seems too thick, you can thin it out by adding 1 tablespoon of milk until you reach the desired texture. This can be soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, whole milk, or any other milk.
Storage Tips
