Holy choco-mole! This deliciously creamy Mexican Chocolate Avocado Pudding is so rich and dreamy, you’ll never believe that it is completely vegan. If you’re in the market for a healthy way to indulge your sweet tooth, this plant based chocolate mousse-like recipe is for you.
Are you a vegan, or do you have friends that are vegan? I used to stress out over making desserts for my plant-based friends until I had the idea for this vegan, dairy-free, no-cook recipe. I wanted something rich and delicious, but most of all, easy to make.
Avocado in Pudding? You’re Kidding, Right?
I know the thought of avocados in a dessert may sound weird, but believe me when I tell you that you would never guess this dessert is made with avocados. They are what give this dessert a sweet, smooth, and creamy texture, and I promise you can’t even taste them.
This mousse-like vegan pudding is rich, flavorful, and creamy. While chocolate avocado pudding might taste decadent and naughty, it’s so good for you! Avocados are filled with healthy fats, fiber, and potassium, and cocoa has some powerful antioxidant properties.
This homemade chocolate pudding is way healthier than store-bought chocolate pudding — my kids especially love this dessert!
How to Make Mexican Chocolate Avocado Pudding
This recipe is so simple, you could almost do it in your sleep. All you need is a blender or food processor to blend avocados, coconut milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, honey, and cocoa powder until creamy. That’s it. It takes less than five minutes from start to finish!
Arguably the hardest part of this recipe is waiting. Once you blend all the ingredients you want to be sure to chill the pudding for at least one hour. The pudding will taste much better when cold.

I’m going to try this. I just need to buy some cocoa powder.
You mention vegan and use honey.
Vegan means no animal or products of animals. Honey is from hers right?
