Prep Time 10 mins Total Time 10 mins

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe avocados

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cacao powder

• 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

• 1/2 cup maple syrup*

• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend on high until the ingredients have broken down.

• Give the pudding a good stir and continue blending until very smooth and creamy.

• Taste and adjust according to personal preference. You may wish to add more almond milk if you want the pudding to be a thinner consistency, more maple syrup if you'd like it to be sweeter or more cocoa powder if you want it to be richer in flavor. Serve immediately or place in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes:

• You can use a sugar-free maple syrup if you want a lower sugar option.*

• Use avocados that are very ripe as they will have a creamier consistency and will break down more easily to form a smooth pudding. If the avocados aren't ripe enough, they may be too firm and harder break down, which may result in chunks throughout the pudding.

• Make sure that you blend the pudding really well to avoid any chunks of avocado being present. I also recommend stirring the pudding a few times throughout the blending process to make sure all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.

• If you find that the avocados in the pudding are having trouble breaking down, add a bit more almond milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

• You can add more maple syrup if you'd like your pudding to be sweeter or more cocoa powder if you want it to be richer in flavour. Taste before serving and adjust if needed.
