Holy Chocomole!

Updated: 1/17/22

Who doesn’t love some chocolate pudding every now and then?  But, every time I read the labels on the pudding packs at the store, I cringe.  That’s why I was intrigued by this super easy, real food recipe.

You are not going to believe this, but it’s true.  I just made the best, real-tasting chocolate pudding from three healthy, real food ingredients.

#1 – cocoa powder
#2 – honey (raw honey, if you have it)
#3 – AVOCADO!

Sounds weird, huh?  But, I’m here to testify that if you put these three things in your food processor and process the snot out of them, it turns into smooth, sweet, chocolaty pudding that does NOT taste like avocado.

My kids will wake up from naps in a few minutes and will get to taste.  That will be the real test.  Stay tuned for an update on this post for kid results.

Update: Kid results after naps–The 4-year-old really loved the first few bites, but gave up after that. (It is pretty rich.) The 2-year-old ate the whole bowl and loved it.

    I found this to be way too sweet (but then I’m like that) and the kids weren’t thrilled either. Too rich as you mentioned. I happened to have another avocado though, so I added it in, further tweaking, I added another two or three tbsp cocoa, a pinch of salt, a splash of vanilla and perhaps up to a half cup of half&half. I think milk or water would work too. Served very cold, it’s quite good, and much gentler on the palate.

      Ooo, good to know! Thanks for the tip. We’ve made this a few times and can only eat a few bites because of the sweetness/richness. I like your suggestions.

    I added about a 1/4 cup of water and a banana… three year old one year old and I all loved it:)

    Is there a way to make it less rich but still keep it tasting like chocolate not avocado? Do I reduce honey or cocoa?

      Could you taste the avocado? I don’t remember being able to discern that flavor, but I do remember it being rich and only eating a small amount. You may have to experiment a bit. I think if you reduce the honey it won’t be sweet enough, and if you reduce the cocoa it will be too sweet. Here are two random ideas that I have NOT tried but that may help cover the avocado:

      1 – I wonder if you could add some yogurt (maybe Greek yogurt?). If you do that, you’ll probably need to up the cocoa and honey.
      2 – Add in some melted dark chocolate chips.

      You’ll have to let me know if you stumble upon a good variation of this recipe in your experimenting.

        I could definitely taste the avocado, not that it tasted bad. It was delicious, unfortunately I couldn’t get my picky eater to even come near it. Maybe next time! 🙂
