Servings:
4-6 They (I don’t care who!) say it is beneficial to eat a little dark chocolate every day, so here is my “go to” recipe when the need for something chocolatey arises. A Vitamix will allow you to whip up this delectable dessert in less than 1 minute, but if you haven’t made the investment in this powerful machine yet, any high speed blender or food processor will do. I know there are many raw pudding recipes out there but what makes this recipe so unique is the Grade B maple syrup (not raw, but rich in vitamins and minerals). Although agave and other grades of syrup will work, Grade B maple syrup gives the pudding a richer, almost caramel-like, flavor. Prepare to be amazed!
Ingredients:
2 medium avocados (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons Grade B maple syrup (not raw)
2 Tablespoons filtered water*
2 Tablespoons raw chocolate powder*
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Preparation:
Remove avocado pits and scoop avocado into Vitamix or your preferred blender/food processor. Add remaining ingredients and blend. This pudding freezes well. Just thaw, stir, and serve.
*Sometimes I omit the water and freeze the pudding to make chocolate ice cream.
*If your body does not agree with raw chocolate, Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa can be used, although it is not raw.

The best raw vegan pudding I have ever had!!!
3. Amazing!! tastes JUST like
Amazing!! tastes JUST like homemade non-raw chocolate pudding! Reminds me of my childhood, only healthy (I love the fats in avocados for my hair and nails!) and incredibly delicious. I used 4 medjool dates and 1/3c honey instead of maple syrup (because I somehow LOST my agave!) to sweeten and it was perfect!! I also used vanilla paste instead of just vanilla. And cacao powder. Okay so I changed the whole recipe - but it was GOOD. And HIT THE SPOT. I will make this whenever I want something sweet that uses up my avocados!
4. Wow, that was really good. I
Wow, that was really good. I never actually liked chocolate pudding before, but I was craving something chocolatey and happened to have two avocados and the rest of the ingredients (a rare thing, since I've only just started a raw diet)-- this was really really easy and tasted amazing. Even my family agreed :)
5. When I make this kind of
When I make this kind of pudding (which I do often) I use dates as the sweetener. They are raw, nutritious, and yummy!
6. Thanks for reminding me about
Thanks for reminding me about maple syrup not being raw! I have changed that in the recipe.
7. To keep this recipe raw, you
To keep this recipe raw, you can sub a nice ripe banana for the maple syrup (which isn't raw), and omit the water.
I try to eat at least one avocado/day, and this is a lovely way to do it. It is good with chopped walnuts on top, too.
