Separate the avocado halves, and using a spoon, remove the pit. Scrape off any avocado flesh that may be stuck on the pit, and place it in the bowl of a food processor or a blender. Scoop the avocado flesh from each half into the food processor or a blender, making sure to avoid or discard any stringy bits and very dark patches. Watch out for the small hard tip at the stem end, which often comes out easily in ripe avocados and isn’t edible. Repeat with the remaining avocados.”,”image”:{“id”:”ef5cffaec2ecc54bee64cd4cf3c577a35ee733a0″,”width”:5760,”height”:3840,”format”:”JPEG”,”created_by_id”:757,”updated_by_id”:null,”created_at”:”2016-12-20T14:23:21.242-05:00″,”updated_at”:”2016-12-20T14:23:21.242-05:00″,”credit_style”:”external”,”credit_author_id”:757,”credit_name”:”Lauren Volo”,”credit_url”:”http://www.laurenvolo.com”,”credit_email”:””,”credit_custom”:””,”credit_license”:””,”credit_linked_post_id”:null,”focus_x”:null,”focus_y”:null,”filename”:”_AvocadoPudding_30835.jpg”,”alt_text”:null,”exclude_from_color_search”:false,”crop”:null,”ancestor”:null}},{“image_id”:”9ed5d53cc32d0cb6cb72c97f30a481746e8b2896″,”caption”:”\u003cb\u003eAdd the milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt:\u003c/b\u003e Add the milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt to the avocados in the food processor or blender.

Creamy, smooth, sweet, and satisfying, chocolate pudding is a treat that always invites a smile. One version of chocolate pudding has been rising in popularity for the past few years, and it’s with very good reason. As the interest in plant-based food increases, the seismic shift from boxed mixes or stovetop versions found their hero in naturally creamy avocado.

This chocolate avocado pudding is as chocolatey and luscious as any other pudding, and it’s even richer-tasting, more unctuous, even more chocolatey. Best of all it’s vegan and gluten-free. Unlike the other versions, which can taste milky or ultra-sweet, this chocolate avocado pudding is all about the chocolate.
