Raw Chocolate Pudding

This raw chocolate pudding will make your heart skip a beat! I expect that kids will love this recipe too. The great thing about this pudding – besides its immensely rich texture and chocolate flavor – is that it’s naturally sweetened with dates. Of course, you can substitute whatever other natural sweetener you prefer – maple syrup and agave being ideal.
It’s also customizable. If you prefer an intense chocolate flavor, add less sweetener. If you prefer it thinner, thicker just adjust the almond milk as desired. And if you’re like me, you like your pudding on the sweeter side and will prefer adding more!! It’s extremely forgiving and flexible in this way.


- 1 big ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup pitted dates
- 2 tbsp raw unsweetened cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raw almond milk
- Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Add more cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor. Add more sweetener of choice to enhance sweetness.
