Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados (soft to the touch)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 3–4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or a dollop of Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Prep the avocados: Halve, pit, and scoop the avocado flesh into a blender or food processor.
  • Add the dry ingredients: Sprinkle in the cocoa powder, a small pinch of salt, and espresso powder if using.
  • Sweeten and smooth: Add maple syrup, vanilla, and half of the almond milk. Blend until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides.
  • Adjust consistency: Add more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach a silky, pudding-like texture.
  • Taste and tweak: Add another spoon of sweetener if you prefer it sweeter, or more cocoa for a darker chocolate vibe.
  • Chill: Spoon into small bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling sets the texture and deepens the flavor.
  • Top and serve: Finish with berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate for crunch and contrast.
