Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 7 oz (200 g) vegan dark chocolate 
• 1 large ripe avocado, pitted and peeled 
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) almond milk or dairy-free milk of your choice 
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) pure maple syrup, plus more to taste 
• Generous pinch of sea salt, plus more to taste 

Serving Options 

• Vegan whipped cream 
• Nuts
• Fresh berries

Instructions

1. Roughly chop the chocolate and add it to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals to keep the chocolate from burning. Repeat this process until the chocolate is almost entirely melted. Set it aside. 
2. Add the avocado, almond milk, maple syrup, and salt to a blender. Process until smooth or mostly smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the blender and blend again until the pudding is completely smooth. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides as needed. Taste and add a little more salt or maple syrup as you see fit. 
3. Pour the pudding into little ramekins or small cups. The chocolate will likely be a little warm at this point, so place in the fridge to chill for about 10 minutes. 
4. Serve as is or top with vegan whipped cream, nuts, berries, or whatever you’d like.
