How To Make Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

Melt chocolate chips via a double boiler (or in the microwave, using 30 second intervals). Set aside.
In a food processor add avocado, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, peppermint extract and salt.
Process until smooth.
Add melted chocolate to processor and process until combined. Then use in tarts or enjoy as is.

Assembling the Tarts

For this recipe, I used store-bought pastry tarts (how convenient are those?) and topped with crushed candy cane, shaved chocolate and fresh mint (after all, it is the holidays so why not go all out?)

This avocado pudding is so creamy, you’d be tempted to enjoy straight from the processor.

Not that I’d ever do that.

That’s not true.

You know I would, LOL.

So, after your tart shells are baked, load them up with the chocolate avocado pudding and garnish to your heart’s content!

By the way, another way to enjoy this chocolate mint avocado pudding is to layer in small jars with whipped cream. If you aren’t using the tart shells, there should be enough chocolate avocado pudding for four people.

Tips for Making This Recipe

I used two avocados, each about 5 ounces (which is pretty much standard size). If your avocados are larger or smaller, you may need to adjust the amount of milk you add to get your desired consistency.
You want ripe avocados, not rock hard.
Chocolate almond milk was used here to really amp up the chocolate flavour. You can use regular chocolate milk or even vanilla almond milk in a pinch.
Dark chocolate chips were used, but milk chocolate would work instead.
Don’t want chocolate mint flavour? Omit the peppermint extract and replace with vanilla extract.
