Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust according to desired sweetness)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: Fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries), crushed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds), or coconut whipped cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: In a food processor or a high-speed blender, place the peeled and pitted avocados. Process the avocados until they achieve a velvety smooth and creamy consistency, using a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed for an even blend.

    Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder directly into the blended avocado to prevent any lumps. Blend again until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated, and the mixture becomes dark and uniform in color.

      Add Sweetness and Creaminess: Pour in the maple syrup and almond milk into the avocado-cocoa blend. Then, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Blend once more until all ingredients are fully mixed, creating a silky, smooth pudding texture.

        Taste and Adjust for Sweetness: Spoon a small amount of the pudding to taste. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, gradually add more maple syrup as desired. Blend again to ensure the syrup integrates well.

          Chill the Pudding: Transfer the smooth pudding mixture into individual bowls or serving cups. Cover them with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period will enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing treat.

            Serve and Garnish: After chilling, remove the pudding from the refrigerator. Serve it topped with your choice of fresh berries, a sprinkle of crushed nuts, or a generous dollop of coconut whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
