Easy Avocado Pudding
Most of the time Matt and I write the recipes we’ve either created or like the most. This chocolate avocado pudding is one of Matt’s creations, but I’m writing the post. Why, you ask? Well, right off the bat Matt told me I wasn’t going to like this recipe, and normally, it’s not something I would ever want to eat, but guys, this recipe is a winner. I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the chocolate and avocado complement each other! It’s like the perfect harmony.
With how easy and fatty this recipe is there’s no way you can read this post and not walk straight into your kitchen to make it. Trust us, you’ll be in keto pudding heaven and have a new dessert to add to the books. Good bye mug cakes! Well, maybe not good bye, but rather move over mug cakes!

Yucky! I cant even swallow it. Definitely not for me!
Matt,
I must be honest, you must really appreciate food for what it is. I’ve made some recipes of yours before and they are good. This recipe not my favorite. I think my expectations were too high. I thought about mixing avacado with a sugar free pudding pack and possibly trying that.
I was thinking the same thing!!!
I don’t know if I did something wrong but it was disgusting! I threw it in the trash!
I made this today. Sweetened with a couple of tablespoons of erythritol and a couple of drops of Sweet Leaf Vanilla Sweet Drops Vanilla Creme, plus a tablespoon of heavy cream. No salt. Perfect! My husband thought it was made with bananas.
No offense to the creator but this was DISGUSTING! There was WAY TOO MUCH SALT and the mix was too dry. I tried adding heavy cream, peanut butter, a TON of stevia and even a little honey in an attempt to save this but all I could taste was SALT. I tasted salt for ten straight minutes after tasting this even after downing water and other food! If you reduce the salt to a pinch and add cream or almond milk, I’m sure it’d be better but as is, it’s a total fail. Had to throw it away! 🙁
Glad I saw your comment. I cut the salt to 1/4 tsp and still found it too much. I think you’re right about the pinch.
Also only used 1/4 cup cocoa and added 1/4 coconut cream. I needed way more sweetener too. Plenty chocolatey. I salvaged it but will look for something different next time.
Agreed. I couldn’t eat more than a couple of bites. The rest got tossed.
Ahhh! I wish I read your post before I made this. It is way too salty. I doubled the avocado to balance the salt! Still too salty. I added heavy cream. Nope! I added more stevia. Nope! I just wasted 2 great avocados and some expensive Himalayan pink salt. Not doing this again!
Too salty… yuck!!!
Haha, it’s not for everyone! Thanks for trying it.
I love salt…this was extremely gross due to the salt…I tried fixing it but it was a lost cause! My other recipe calls for only 1/4.
Well i only had stevia packets so I used the conversion tool on theStevia website and it came to around 1/4 teaspoon.
Well it’s crazy bitter, i’ve got xylitol and cream cheese so maybe I try those, see if I can make it sweet.
WAY too much salt!
Thanks for the tip!
I had the same issue, the recipe should clarify that if you’re not using coarse salt, you need to use way less (like half or less)
Maybe mention to add the salt last to taste
Yes WAY too much…it ruined it! My other recipe only calls for 1/4. No way to fix it.
2nd time making this and love it even more this time. I like it, like the recipe and for my family, who aren’t dark chocolate fans, I add heavy whipping cream. That makes the most amazing chocolate pudding ever.
Ohh that is an awesome addition. I bet some cream cheese would also be really good in it.
wow this is gross!!! Nobody should make this. There is nothing good about it.
This was really good, it totally satisfied my chocolate/sweet tooth. I thought one avocado was a big portion for me. Next time I’ll make half the receipe. Thanks
Another great treat is raspberry sherbet. Avacado, frozen raspberries, stevia and lime juice. SO GOOD! Look up Raw Raspberry Sherbet. Yes you can freeze the avocado.
That sounds incredible!
Just wondering if I could freeze this after it’s made? You can freeze avocado’s so just thinking about making ahead when there is a good sale on avocado’s.
I wouldn’t see why that would be an issue! That’s a great idea.
Do you cut up the avocados before freezing? I didn’t know they were freezable!!! ?
I cut up avocados into 1/2 inch pieces. Spared them out until frozen then place into a zip-lock bag. Mostly I use them in smoothies and protein drinks.
I think I may have used an avacado that was too small- as I didn’t seem to have enough moisture to blend the ingredients. i just added a quarter cup of almond milk and a table spoon of cream cheese and the made a better consistency and a nice pudding in the end.
That sounds great! A lot of people suggested cream cheese or heavy whipping cream as an addition!
Mine also was too dry. I added a tablespoon of melted butter (adds to the fat content) and a little water. I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s very good. Next time I may use a little less cocoa.
How many servings do it make?
1 Avocado is 1 serving.
The salt is a MUST. So good, thank you!
YUMMY! Thank you for posting.
You are amazing, I never would have thought of this great recipe , but I’m sure glad you did !! I will make it tonight ! 🙂
What is erythritol?
It’s a sugar alcohol that has very little net carbs. http://amzn.to/2jPaNOy
We use it quite often.
I have heard recently that this isn’t good for you,it is used as a pesticide from truvia. Have you heard this? Still searching for accurate info.
It can be used as a pesticide, it is also safe to consume per the fda.
FDA says it is alright for humans to consume Erythritol but deadly to animals- beware
Chocolat is Deadly for dogs…
Chocolate is Deadly for dogs..
Xytilol is deadly for dogs, not erythritol.
Yes, Scary how it can trick the dogs body into thinking they are ingesting sugar and release insulin so it drops their blood sugar and can cause coma and death.
It also DESTROYS their liver.
Not a product I would use.
You trust the FDA? They are the ones that approved aspartame.
“You trust the FDA? They are the ones that approved aspartame.”
Yes. Based on scientific evidence, which is far more trustworthy than sundry “experts” on the internet, where everyone can write anything without providing anything that holds an ounce of water in evidence.
It’s xylitol that can be deadly to dogs. Erythritol is fine.
I am not thrilled with FDA clearance. It means do your own homework to me.
You are confusing erythritol with zylitol, which is deadly to dogs. Another option is monk fruit.
What is a pesticide? Avacados? Cocoa powder? Salt? Stevia? Chocolate pudding?
I was just thinking about something like this the other day when i saw a recipe online for an avocado cake. I am happy that i don’t have to experiment with that now 😀 I just want to ask if you have an idea how you can substitute the stevia drops with either erythritol or xylitol ? And also the other day i made quite a nice pannacota if you want some inspiration about that feel free to contact me on my email. Cheers and thank you again for all of your amazing recipes.
I’d go with 1 Tbsp erythritol or so. Maybe 2 Tbsp if you like it extra sweet. If it’s not sweet enough it’s always easy to add more at the end.
Oh my word did you say Panna Cotta??? Please post the recipe please! We have a local restaurant that makes it to die for and I have missed it so. A Keto recipe for it? Am I dreaming? 🙂
