    Chocolate pudding with the name of the recipe at the bottom.

    This 6 ingredient Keto Avocado Chocolate Pudding is rich, creamy, and silky smooth. It can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes and is a totally addictive, dreamy chocolate dessert. Plus, with a few simple tweaks, it can be also made paleo and dairy-free!

    This gluten-free keto avocado chocolate pudding tastes just like the real thing! It's rich, super smooth and creamy, decadent, and is 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 gets rid of 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 best taste.
    • Pure Vanilla - If possible, use pure vanilla and 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 the sake of taste, I add heavy cream or coconut cream. The cream gives the pudding more of a milk chocolate taste and really 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. Keep in mind, though, 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'll need to 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 #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 with non-dairy milk or heavy cream. Taste and add more sweetener if needed.

    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

    How many carbs are in chocolate pudding? Is chocolate pudding keto?

    Made with sugar and starches, chocolate pudding is not traditionally keto-friendly, having around 40 carbs per serving! However, this recipe is made with a sugar-free sweetener and thickened with avocado making it have only 7 net carbs per serving!

    Is sugar-free pudding keto?

    While sugar-free puddings are low-carb, having 5 carbs per serving before preparation, they contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, some of which may affect blood sugar. Because of this, sugar-free puddings are considered "dirty keto". However, this recipe is just as easy to make, is considered "clean keto", and has no weird aftertaste because it uses an authentic-tasting natural sugar-free sweetener.

    Does avocado pudding taste like avocados?

    In my opinion, traditional avocado pudding does have a slight avocado taste. Unlike other recipes, though, this one adds heavy cream which gets rid of any avocado taste and makes the pudding extra rich and creamy, similar to milk chocolate pudding.

    How do I fix runny pudding or thin out the pudding?

    If the pudding is too thin, add more avocado. If it's too thick, thin with non-dairy milk or heavy cream.

    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, just 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. Keep in mind, 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 prefer! Also, if you choose pure allulose, it's only 70% as sweet as sugar. So if using this option you'll need to add a few extra tablespoons.

    • When picking avocados, 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.
    • When you cut open your avocado, if you notice big brown spots inside, don't use it! If they have brown spots, it will make the pudding taste "off".
    • Be sure to taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
    • For the keto sweetener, any Keto Powdered Sweetener will work. Keep in mind, though, that erythritol-based sweeteners may leave a slight cooling-like aftertaste and don't always dissolve as well as other sweeteners.
