Mexican Hot Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Have you ever thought about making Chocolate Avocado Pudding? I certainly didn’t. But when I did try it, I never looked back. Rich and creamy and so chocolatey, you’ll forget about the avocado part – quickly.

Cold + Creamy, Rich + Chocolatey and my version has a little Mexican spice!

The spices + a dash of salt add just the right amount of contrast – similar to the concept of salted caramel. Since my recipe is based on one of Mexico’s greatest contributions to the food world – the avocado – these spices seemed appropriate.

I didn’t get this recipe posted in time for Cinco de Mayo, but since every Tuesday has officially become #TacoTuesday – I have no doubt in my mind that this will be a favorite post-taco dessert.

Are you with me?

Chocolate Avocado Pudding close up You might ask, why in the world would you make chocolate pudding with avocado?

I’ll give you two reasons:
It takes 10 minutes

It’s a nutrient dense snack that you’ll go completely bonkers over!

PIN IT!

Creamy + Rich, this Healthy CHOCOLATE AVOCADO PUDDING is snacking heaven. I never expected that avocados would make this amazing dessert and once you try it, you'll forget all about the avocado in there! You can even make this recipe into frozen pudding pops for a summer treat! | HEALTHY SNACKS | DESSERT | AVOCADO | CHOCOLATE | VEGAN | GLUTEN FREE | Recipe at OatandSesame.com

When you’re in the mood for a chocolate snack, using a high quality cocoa powder is paramount to deep chocolate flavor – my preferred is Rodelle’s Dutch-Processed Cocoa. Good quality ingredients will always give you better results whether it be vegetables fresh from your local farmer’s market or in your favorite desserts. Remember that what’s better for YOUR health is also better for both the economy and our environment!


Oh and remember those delicious Jell-O pudding pops that you used to devour every summer?

BONUS: This pudding can be frozen into pops and it tastes just like those – maybe even better! I suggest adding a tiny dab of peppermint extract as an alternate to the spices I’ve used here to create an icy, cold pudding pop!

  1. Add all ingredients - except spices, salt and nuts - to a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Adding extra milk and extra maple syrup (to taste) if making pudding pops.

      I have never used frozen avocado in anything before so I’m not sure how it would affect the texture.
