Creamy and delicious Chocolate Avocado Pudding made with just a few simple ingredients and packed with healthy fats!
One thing I absolutely LOVE about cooking healthy is finding fun substitutions for all those unhealthy ingredients that are typically called for in indulgent sinful recipes. It’s certainly no secret that avocado is a favorite sub used in many recipes, especially in baking, so why not chocolate?!
Oh yes, get excited.
The thing I love most about using avocados in recipes is not only do they make everything so uber creamy, you also can’t even taste them! Avocados are the perfect healthy fat packed with tons of fiber and vitamins so I love any excuse I can get to add them into my diet – especially with chocolate (duh). They make a great substitute for butter, oil, or even mayonnaise in many recipes, another I’ll even be sharing tomorrow. Baking with it has seriously changed my life, along with Greek yogurt which you’ll also find in this pudding that also helps make this sweet treat oh so creamy!
I should also probably mention how freakin’ EASY this is to make. Throw all ingredients into a blender or food processor, mix until smooth and DONE. Eat right away or save for later when you need to indulge that insane chocolate fix you’ve been craving all day.
Actually my favorite way to eat this is by dipping strawberries in it! I eat fruit every day as my mid-morning snack so this was a nice change to my weekly meal plan. Try cutting up bananas, apples or even dipping some pretzels! You really can’t go wrong, I mean when isn’t it a good time for chocolate?? Enjoy!
One thing I will note is don’t be afraid of the FAT in this recipe! Seriously. I will repeat again, avocado is a healthy fat which is really good for your body. When I was adding up the calorie content in this recipe I realized the majority of the calories and fat came from the avocados, but all the fiber comes from them too! So don’t be scurred friends – it’s okay to enjoy something sweet now and then and it’s even better when you can sneak those healthy foods in, masking them under chocolate!
Perfect for your kiddos too!

Is it just plain greek yogurt? Or the NF plain greek yogurt?
I used non-fat Greek yogurt 🙂
OMG! This is amazing! I felt like chocolate after dinner and came across this. Made it and just eating it with fresh berries – heaven! Thank you
This is so delicious and very creamy. What a good combination and a lot better and healthier than the chocolate pudding from the store.
Thank you so much for this treat.
I tried this recipe and really liked it. The only thing I will do differently next time is less chocolate. Even my kids thought it was a little too bitter from the unsweetened cocoa. Otherwise I LOVE the texture. This is definitely on my regular list now.
I just made this with 2 small avocados. I didn’t use any yogurt. The texture & taste is more like a mousse than pudding. It is very rich & smooth. It hits the spot to satisfy any sweet/chocolate cravings. Wonderful! Thank you!
