Whenever we eat avocados, the kids make horrible faces, turn their noses up in disgust and say, “ewwww.” I always tell them that they can’t really say that they don’t like something until they try it, but this is one thing that they refuse to give a go.
Today I actually got the girls to eat (and enjoy) avocados!
The best part is that they have no idea that they ate an avocado because it was ever so deliciously disguised as creamy chocolate pudding!
Hehehe. Sneaky mom, I know.
Creamy Chocolate Pudding
Makes four 1/2 cup servings
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Spoon the flesh of the avocados into a food processor.
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk and vanilla.
Blend on high until combined and smooth.
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or serve as is. We added sliced banana to ours.
They love this pudding so much that I am debating whether or not to tell them that it is made from avocados. I think that I will just keep it my delicious little secret. 
omg you are seriously a genius. that looks amazing. i am big on pudding and on avocados so to see them together is very inspiring, i’m going to try this tomorrow!
Great idea! It looks really rich, like a cooked pudding. I’ll be trying this one soon.
Come to think about it, I have an avocado in the fridge right now, just waiting for something to do….
I just made it, and it does taste as amazing as it looks! You should definitely put it in the book

I agree with twitchitt. I made it last night and loved it. My boyfriend eyed it suspiciously when it was being made, but changed his tune after tasting some.
I’m back for the recipe again. The boyfriend came home with avocados today, asking for more pudding… Guess I’d better just write it down

I agree, making avocados into pudding is a great way of incorporating it to the diet. I have been doing this for awhile and I use dark chocolate almond milk (instead of cocoa powder) with some Greek yogurt. Then blend it (i use an immersion blender). I topped it off on whatever t I got, granola or berries or bananas. Yum!
I love reading your blog and have been finding something that catches my interest everyday. I just made this pudding for my family tonight. While my husband and I loved the richness of the chocolate, my teenage boys tried it but knowing it was vegan immediately turned them off. Yes, I admit I raised them wrong…but I can’t make them young again and start all over…unfortunately. I’d love to raise them all over again. I know you are enjoying your girls and I appreciate you sharing them with your readers.
Thank you so much Wendy!
