Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup cooked sweet potato
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal blending consistency.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Add the cooked and cooled sweet potato to the blender, ensuring it's been mashed or pureed smooth beforehand.
- Measure and add cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt into the blender.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 2-3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.
- If the mixture seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk or water to achieve a pudding-like consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired, or a pinch more salt to enhance chocolate flavor.
- Transfer the pudding into serving glasses or bowls using a spatula.
- For best texture and flavor, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh berries, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts before serving.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure ultra-smooth blending and consistent texture.
- Blend Like a Pro: Use a high-powered blender and scrape down sides periodically to eliminate any potential lumps.
- Consistency Matters: If your pudding seems too thick, don't panic! Simply add plant-based milk gradually to achieve that perfect, silky pudding texture.
- Flavor Enhancement: A tiny pinch of salt can dramatically elevate the chocolate flavor, so don't be afraid to adjust.
- Chill for Maximum Enjoyment: Refrigerating for 30 minutes before serving allows flavors to meld and provides the most luxurious texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with garnishes like fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, or crunchy nuts to add extra dimension.Pro Tip: This pudding is not just a dessert, but a nutritional powerhouse disguised as a decadent treat!
