    Be turned into THIS:

    Creamy, chocolaty, and decadent is how to describe this delicious Dark Chocolate Mint Avocado Pudding.

    It's totally possible to turn avocados into this sweet, smooth, rich, chocolaty dessert! All it takes is a blender and 5 ingredients.

    Now, you may still be skeptical about the taste, and with good reason. I have read on other websites about attempts to make avocado pudding and the results being terrible.

    Here's what I have to say about that: they didn't make it right. There is one major trick to making the perfect avocado pudding. The secret lies in the size of the avocados you use. It's so important.

    You have to use two medium-sized ripe avocados for this recipe. They can't be too large, and they cannot be too small. This tip is key in the flavours balancing properly.

    Avocados too large? The flavour of your pudding will have an underlying avocado taste and you won't like it.

    If they're too small, the chocolate and the sweetness will overwhelm.

    When you taste it, if there is no hint of avocado, you got it right!

    A small ramekin filled with chocolate avocado pudding, pudding is garnished with a fresh raspberry.

    I wish I could give you a simple measurement for a medium-sized avocado, but I can't. You will have to compare a few and determine what a medium avocado looks like (I hope you don't end up with any like these!).

    Once you get a good feel for what it should be, go ahead and make this dark chocolate mint avocado pudding over and over...and over again like I do. Because it is SO GOOD. It's also fun to make it for unsuspecting friends and family and see the looks on their faces when you tell them the secret ingredient!

    Ideally, I would have loved to garnish these with fresh mint leaves (the pictures would have been gorgeous!), but they are nowhere to be found at this time of year.

    I ended up choosing to garnish this batch with fresh raspberries, but feel free to have it plain or use other toppings such as coconut whipped cream, mini chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or other fruits/berries.

    Or, if you are making this when mint leaves are easy to find, go for mint leaves! Either way, it's going to be GOOD!

    When you serve this Dark Chocolate Mint Avocado Pudding to your family, they'll never guess the secret ingredient!

    The combination of chocolate and mint is one of my favourite flavour combinations but if it isn't one of yours, see the note in the recipe below.

    Dark Chocolate Mint Avocado Pudding

    This sweet vegan dark chocolate mint avocado pudding is smooth, chocolaty, and decadent. The best part about it? No one will believe it's made with avocados!

    Servings: 4
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Ingredients:

    • 2 medium-sized ripe avocados (size is important, be sure to read above)
    • ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
    • ½ cup pure maple syrup
    • ¼ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk (any type of milk will work, I use almond)
    • ½ - 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (see note below)
    • Coconut whip , fresh berries, fruit, mini chocolate chips, or cacao nibs for garnish (optional)

    Instructions:

    • Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
    • Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour or more.
    • Separate into 4 small bowls or ramekins, and place garnish (if using) on top of each one.

    Recipe Notes:

    • Different mint extract brands produce extracts that may be stronger or weaker than others. Start out with adding a ½ teaspoon and taste. If that is enough, stop there. If you need more mint flavour, continue adding in ¼ teaspoon increments until the pudding is "minty" enough for you.
    • Variation: If chocolate mint is not your thing, simple replace the mint extract with a ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and you'll have yourself a delicious, regular dark chocolate avocado pudding.
    • Each serving is ½ cup, calorie count is without any garnish.

      I've tried avocado and chocolate together but adding mint? I am intrigued!! These photos certainly make a strong case for the combo!

      I love the photos that accompany your recipes. They are beautiful.

      I am the kind of person who could drizzle chocolate on an avocado slice, straight up, and enjoy it. I am sure I would love this pudding.

      I will let you know when I make it. I am *so* good at picking out avocados! It's one of my ridiculous powers. 😀

      Great post!

        Thank you so much, Laureen 🙂 The photography portion of this little blog is something I really enjoy. I still have a lot to learn but I really do enjoy it!

        I agree, I think you will love this pudding too...but I may be a bit biased because *I* love it. And we share that superpower...I've mastered avocado picking too. I buy them often, so it was inevitable 😉
