Paleo Chocolate Avocado Pudding (Nut-free, Vegan)

This creamy, rich dessert satisfies a chocolate craving with a touch of sweetness from maple syrup, topped with a dollop of whipped coconut cream and fresh berries. Chocolate Avocado pudding is a rich dessert that’s easy to make! 

Sharing a favorite go-to in my house: Chocolate Avocado Pudding! Raw desserts are my favorite because they’re usually pretty guilt-free, easy on the stomach and quick to put together. I need all of those components in place especially for summer when the last thing I need to do is use my oven more!! That being said, don’t be shocked if I post a summer pie recipe 😉 but in a pinch, this pudding makes a beautiful presentation, is so creamy and rich… and has 5 key ingredients plus the coconut whipped topping and berries. The healthy fat from the avocado and coconut will keep you feeling full, so this is a great afternoon snack/pick-me-up.

TIP: While you can technically eat this right away, I’d still recommend refrigerating it for at least an hour first because the food processor will make the avocado warm and I’m not so into that taste 🙂 – the pinch of coffee really makes the chocolate that much tastier.
