Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Avocado Pudding

Avocado’s neutral flavour and creamy texture makes it a wonderful substitute for dairy in desserts or smoothies. These little pots will keep for a few days in the fridge - a great make-ahead dessert!

Pudding

Ingredients

  • 2 large, ripe avocados, halved and stoned
  • 1 large banana, chopped
  • 5 soft prunes
  • 6 tbsp unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder (or good quality cocoa powder)
  • 100g coconut milk yogurt
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • dark chocolate to decorate

Method

  1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor.
  2. Add the chopped banana, prunes, almond or coconut milk, smooth peanut butter and cacao powder.
  3. Blend until smooth, adding a little more milk if the blade gets stuck. Scrape down the sides once or twice and blend again.
  4. Divide the mixture between 4 small glasses. Mix the coconut yogurt with the maple syrup or honey and top each pudding with a generous dollop.
  5. Finely grate a little dark chocolate over the top and chill for at least 1 hr.
