Equipment

  • Blender, food processor, or just a fork (for no blender pudding)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small, ripe avocados preferably chilled
  • ⅓ cup raw cacao powder
  • 10-12 dates pitted (best to be soaked in warm water for 5 minutes and drained)
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp plant-based milk (I used cashew milk)
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a blender or food processor combine all ingredients together. Blend until silky-smooth and creamy. I recommend you to chill the avocados ahead of time so you can enjoy the pudding right away, nicely cold and creamy. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes before using them in this recipe. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides. Depending on the size of your avocados, you may need to add more dairy-free milk to help the mixture blend well.

  • Taste and see if you need to add more dates (to make it sweeter) or cacao powder (to make it even more chocolatey). Blend again, until the mixture, is smooth.
  • Transfer in small glasses, jars, or whatever container you wish, and enjoy it chilled in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. You can skip the chilling step if your avocados and milk are already cold. Serve it topped with fresh or frozen raspberries, strawberries, banana slices, chocolate flakes, or nuts.

Notes

  • For the purpose of this recipe, it's best to use good, ripe avocados. Neither overripen (with brown spots), nor underripe (this won't have that soft, creamy texture).
  • It's best to chill your avocados in the fridge overnight and enjoy your mousse immediately after making it. Alternatively, chill it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving.
  • This pudding is not overly sweet (I prefer it that way) so taste it and add more dates or cacao powder as per your taste. You can add a tablespoon of maple or agave syrup if you like.
  • Depending on the size of your avocados you may need to add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, to help the mixture blend easily.
