- Maple Syrup: Feel free to add more maple syrup for a sweeter pudding. Adjust to your taste preferences.
- Cocoa Powder: You can also use cacao powder.
- Peanut Butter: Add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter if you’d like a peanut butter chocolate combination. Optional!

Commonly Asked Questions
Store leftover pudding in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Yes! Feel free to add more (or less) maple syrup depending on your taste preferences. I recommend trying the pudding first (when you’re done blending) to decide if you want to add more maple syrup.
Nope! With the combination of cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, you won’t taste it. If you’re worried about tasting it, I’d recommend also adding the (optional) peanut butter to cover any potential flavor.
“This recipe is a keeper – it’s so rich and creamy but so easy to whip together. I added peanut butter and no one knew it was made with avocados. Love, love this recipe!”

Carly says
You mention you use frozen avocado from Costco, so do I, but you don’t say in cups approx. You are using to be around 2 avocados. How much did you estimate to be 2?
Danielle Keith says
About 1.5 cups of avocado maybe 2.
Rebecca says
Why do you use unripe avocado? Does it affect your stomach differently? I have always used ripe avocado without any problems. What would be the difference and benefits?
Danielle Keith says
because you don’t want the pudding to have an unripe avocado flavor!
C Smith says
I looove this flavor and so easy to make! Mine turned out a little thin. What would you add to thicken?
Danielle Keith says
make sure to use frozen avocado! Use less milk next time.

((I loved how easy this was)) I added one scoop of protein powder and used silk chocolate protien milk instead of regualr almond milk; you couldn’t taste the avocado at all!! also i used half honey and half maple syrup and it was plenty sweet enough; chocolate chips or granola would make a great crunchy addition!
Kristen Leblanc says
A great dessert I don’t feel guilty about when I get a sweet tooth
