Ingredients

80 ml full-fat coconut milk
10 g cocoa powder or raw cacao (to taste)
2 to 3 tablespoons Swerve or xylitol (to taste)**

Metric - US Cups

Instructions

Add coconut milk, cocoa powder and sweetener to a saucepan over medium heat. Heat up, whisking to combine, until the ingredients have incorporated (though you may still have a few cocoa lumps). You do not want to warm it up too much, rather just use the heat to combine the ingredients. Remove from heat.
Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, coffee (optional) and salt. Add avocado and blend using an immersion blender. Alternatively transfer to a food processor and blend until silky smooth.
Taste for sweetness and seasoning and adjust accordingly with more sweetener or salt. Transfer to serving glass and either enjoy at room temperature or chill until fully set (our preference). You can always pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes, and keep in mind that this chocolate pudding keeps well in the fridge for a couple days.
If you're feeling fancy: garnish with grated dark chocolate and flakey sea salt!

Notes

*Please see section on sweeteners for deets and possible substitutions. And if paleo, feel free to use good-old maple syrup.

And if using xylitol, make sure to be careful if you have a pup around the house, as it’s highly toxic to the little guys! 🐕

**Feel free to get creative with the extract and add anything from orange to almond!

When reading the nutrition facts, keep in mind that most of the carbs come from the avocado (100g).
