Chocolate Avocado Pudding (vegan, dairy-free) Recipe

Chocolate Avocado Pudding (vegan, dairy-free)

Original recipe: Lisa Bryon

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 large avocado chilled
• 1/2 cup  full fat coconut milk
• 1/3 cup  raw cacao powder
• 1/3 cup  Lakanto maple syrup (original recipe calls for regular Maple Syrup – nutrition facts adjusted for Lakanto maple syrup)
• 2 tsp  vanilla extract

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

•  hazelnuts roughly chopped
• sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Test and see if you’d like to add any additional sweetener.
3. Divide the chocolate avocado pudding between four serving bowls.
4. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as hazelnuts and sea salt.

**For garnishing this recipe I prefer pyramid sea salt flakes as they’re larger and will stand out on top of the desert.
