This Avocado Chocolate Pudding is creamy, simple to make, low carb and filled with healthy fats. This Keto Avocado Chocolate Pudding will be your new favorite dessert that will be ready in a few minutes!
This yummy treat is from just one of the fifteen chapters in my new cookbook, The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook.
When I was writing my cookbook, I felt strongly that I should write an entire chapter of recipes dedicated to to Dairy AND Wheat-Free, not just wheat free.
Many people who can't tolerate dairy also have a problem with gluten and wheat. There is no milk or cream in this pudding.
All of the creaminess comes from the avocado. Lots of omega-3-fatty acids in this pudding between the chia seed and avocado.
I've updated this post to reflect my low carb lifestyle. You can easily use honey if you would like to, but obviously wouldn't be sugar free and keto.
Why You Should Make This Avocado Chocolate Pudding
This pudding is healthy enough to eat for breakfast, light enough to have for a snack and decadent enough to enjoy for dessert. It's one of those rare healthy recipes that are scrumptious any time of the day.
This delicious avocado chocolate pudding will be ready in minutes. There aren't that many healthy desserts or treats that can be ready this quickly.
This pudding is so incredibly rich and creamy too, all because of my beloved avocado. My favorite fruit and basically my favorite food. Remember this is so silky smooth and creamy without any milk or cream!
Dairy-free BABY!
Did you know that actually have more potassium in them than bananas? And what is interesting is that bananas are always the example of what to eat to get more potassium in your diet.
This pudding is perfect for when those cravings hit because it is actually sugar free (depending on how you make it) low carb, gluten free, dairy free, grain free and so easy to make!
Expert Tips on Making This Avocado Chocolate Pudding
After blending all fo the ingredients together, if it's not thick enough for you you can store it in the fridge to allow it to thicken. Honestly, every time I've made this (and that's MANY times) I have never had it come out thin, but I think that's because I use a high speed blender.
If you are like me and love some added texture, go ahead and add some chocolate chips.
They add a little crunch without any guilt if you get the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips that are vegan, dairy free and gluten free or Lily's Chocolate Chips that are sugar free and sweetened only with stevia and erythritol.
I like to keep 1 or a bunch of them in my refrigerator at all times to be prepared. And yes, I typically make these on my Meal Prep Sundays.
This pudding (not the keto version) is one of the twenty in my chapter 'Dairy Free and Wheat Free" of my book, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook.

This recipe is great. I used two dates to sweeten the pudding and it was great. However, I'm wondering what everyone used for the blending. I put the ingredients in my vitamin and it got lost in there. I had transfer to a small blender that isn't as strong. Thanks!

I love anything that involves Avocado and this looks super delish!
Laura Strnad
I love avocado too including avocado toast. This is the first pudding with Chia seeds in that said to grind them up; the other just left them whole. Maybe because there was more Chia seeds in the puddings. I cannot eat seeds that way because of diverticulitis. This looks yummy!

Hi Lauren,
I love this recipe, I will try it this weekend. Also someone told me about soaking chia seeds for a few hours (maybe overnight) and blending with a chocolate flavored "green" powder. What are you thoughts on that? I haven't tried it yet, she says the texture might be an issue??!
lauren.kelly
Hi Isabelle 🙂 yes you can soak chia seeds overnight. I am not sure what green powder is but if you try it, let me know how it turns out? XO
Erin
Is the chocolate supposed to be melted?
lauren.kelly
Hi erin 🙂 Actually no, you don't need to melt the chocolate. You just blend it all together! Hope you like it! XO
