Ingredients

2 large very ripe avocados (peeled and pitted (10.6 oz / 300 g))
1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
½ cup full fat coconut milk (refrigerated)
¾ cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed.
Spoon the pudding into 4 small bowls or airtight containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (ideally at least 3 hours).
Right before serving the chocolate pudding, top with vegan whipped cream, fresh berries, and/or chocolate shavings on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Ripe avocados will give you the smoothest pudding. Be careful not to use avocados that are too ripe, though (very soft to the touch, with black or brown blemishes on the green flesh), or else they may give your pudding a strange flavor.
For a mousse-like texture, only use the solid white part at the top of the can of chilled coconut milk. Canned coconut cream works well here, too.
