- 2 tbsp agave syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients ensuring the avocado is ripe for the creamiest texture.
- Blend Ingredients: Combine coconut milk, agave syrup, brown sugar, ripe avocado, cocoa powder, and salt in a blender. Pulse for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the pudding and add extra cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor or additional sweetener if desired. Blend briefly again if adding any extras.
- Chill: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and flavors to meld.

Notes
- Use ripe, soft avocados to ensure a smooth texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase agave syrup or brown sugar to taste.
- For a lower sugar version, reduce or omit brown sugar and add a sugar-free sweetener.
- Dark cocoa powder can be substituted with unsweetened cocoa powder for less sweetness.
- This pudding keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Make sure to blend thoroughly to avoid any avocado lumps.
