Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions 

Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

Avocados: Soft avocados will work best because they will be easier to blend into a creamy texture.

Coconut Milk: Make sure you use the correct type of coconut milk for this recipe:

• Full- Fat
• Coconut milk in a can and not boxed coconut milk
• Use only the hardened fat part of the canned coconut milk, not the liquid part

Cacao Powder: This can be substituted with regular cocoa powder in the same amount.

*Maple Syrup: Substitute with organic date nectar to keep this recipe 100% lectin-free compliant.

Vanilla Bean Powder: I like to use vanilla bean powder in my no-bake desserts because it doesn't contain alcohol or needs to evaporate as it does in baked goods, but you could substitute this with organic pure vanilla extract.

Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (2) cups of pudding. Nutritional information is for ⅓ cup which is (1) serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is This Recipe Different From The 25,257 Other Chocolate Avocado Pudding Recipes Online?

When I first started eating clean and healthier, my Creamy Raw Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding was one of the first raw, vegan dessert recipes I used to make.

However, over the years I've tweaked it a little and added something that just takes it over the moon!

I changed mine up by adding full-fat coconut milk - and the difference it makes is unbelievable!

It adds an entirely new layer of creaminess to it that makes it hard to believe it's good for you, unlike highly processed pudding.

Is This Recipe Healthier Than Store-Bought?

In my opinion, yes!

Here are the ingredients in a popular brand of traditional store-bought pudding cups:

• S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Kraft Handi-Snacks Chocolate Pudding Cups Ingredients: Water, Milk Non-Fat, Sugar, Food Starch Modified, Vegetable(s) Oil Partially Hydrogenated (Soybean(s) Oil Partially Hydrogenated, Canola Oil Partially Hydrogenated), Cocoa Processed with Alkali, Contains Less Than 2% of Salt, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Artificial Flavors 

My recipe is made with nutrient-dense ingredients making it a healthier option.
