This gluten-free keto avocado chocolate pudding tastes just like the real thing! It's rich, super smooth, creamy, decadent, and similar to the milk chocolate Snack Pack puddings I grew up on as a kid.

It's a super fast and easy snack or dessert and can easily be put in a small container and sent in the kiddos (or adults!) lunch boxes.

Ingredients

Here are the easy ingredients that you will need:

• Heavy Whipping Cream - Makes it extra creamy and removes any avocado taste.
• Avocados - Thickener and healthy fats. Look for ones that are firm with a slight give. Also, look for avocados with the stem still attached. When the stem is missing, it's more likely that the avocados have brown spots inside, meaning they are no longer good.
• Keto Powdered Sweetener - I prefer monk fruit and/or allulose because they have no aftertaste and dissolve beautifully, but use any low-carb powdered sweetener you prefer.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - Use high quality for the best taste.
• Pure Vanilla - If possible, use pure vanilla, not the imitation variety.

Avocados

Yup, this pudding has avocados in it. But this isn't your traditional avocado pudding!!! Most chocolate avocado pudding recipes have a strong avocado taste, which I don't particularly care for.

So, for taste sake, I add heavy cream or coconut cream. The cream gives the pudding more milk chocolate taste and reduces the avocado flavor.

So we get the ease of a chocolate avocado pudding with all the good fats and benefits of avocado, but without the strong taste - YAY!!!

Sweetener

For the sugar-free sweetener, any Low-Carb Powdered Sweetener will work. Remember that erythritol-based sweeteners may sometimes leave a slight cooling-like aftertaste and don't always completely dissolve.

Because of this, I prefer Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend or Powdered Allulose. But again, use whatever you prefer!

Also, if you choose pure Allulose, it's only 70% as sweet as sugar. So, if using this option, you must add a few extra tablespoons.

If you only have granulated sweetener: Place the sweetener in a super-dry blender and blend until powdered. Then, measure it out for the recipe.

🔪 Easy instructions

Step #1: Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.

*Note- If you need a little help with the avocado, check out this post on how to cut an avocado!

Step #2: Process in the food processor on high until completely smooth and creamy.

If the keto chocolate pudding is too thin, add more avocado. Or if it's too thick, thin it with non-dairy milk or heavy cream. Taste and add more sweetener if needed.

Serve immediately with coconut whipped cream and berries, and enjoy!!!

Storage instructions

Store covered in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Variations and topping ideas

Here are a few delicious topping ideas:

• Whipped Cream
• Berries
• Shaved Chocolate
• Unsweetened Shredded Or Shaved Coconut
• Mint
• Sea Salt
• Nuts

Or, if you want to really bump up the flavor, add a little pure coconut extract, cinnamon, or pure mint extract when blending!

Frequently asked questions

Substitutions

• For dairy-free: Simply replace the heavy cream with full-fat canned coconut cream. For coconut cream, place full-fat canned coconut milk in the fridge for 24 hours, then scoop out the cream. I recommend using Thai Kitchen, Sprouts, Or Native Forest brands because others may not separate well. If the cream is too hard to use, scoop it into a small bowl and pop it in the microwave for a few seconds or until it's just slightly soft - being sure not to melt it.
• For paleo: Replace the powdered sweetener with ½ cup honey, replace the heavy cream with ⅔ cups of coconut cream, and add additional avocado to thicken as needed.

💭 Top tips

• Traditional chocolate avocado pudding recipes have much too strong of an avocado taste (for me, anyway!). So, for the sake of taste, I always add heavy whipping cream. The cream gives it more of a milk chocolate taste and gets rid of the avocado flavor.
• Be sure to taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
• For the keto sweetener, any Powdered Sweetener will work. Remember, though, that erythritol-based sweeteners may leave a slight cooling-like aftertaste and don't always completely dissolve. Because of this, I prefer Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend or Powdered Allulose. But again, use whatever you like! Also, if you choose pure allulose, it's only 70% as sweet as sugar. So, you must add a few extra tablespoons if using this option.
