Avocado-Chocolate Pudding

I've been seeing recipes online, saying that you can actually make a vegan pudding out of cocoa and avocado. It seemed just photogenic to me at first, until I had the chance to try it myself -- I unintentionally got 3 huge avocados from our last Zambales trip, because they're super cheap! Now I'm sulking in regret ...I should have bought MORE! This thing isn't just a fad, but a real yummy, creamy, chocolatey (and HEALTHY) treat!!!


Again, I am not a vegan. But I'm predominantly one when it comes to desserts. This is because I am lactose intolerant. Plus, I really like the feeling of eating "healthy" sweets! :)


Good news to avocado haters: You wouldn't taste the avocado here at all!


(BTW: Do you like my container? Get a Yellow Cab ice cream! haha!)

Avocado Chocolate Pudding



Ingredients:
1. 1 large avocado
2. 1/2 cup soy milk
3. 2 packets (2grams)stevia sweetener
4. 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
5. Optional - chopped fruits and nuts of your choice

Instructions:
1. Blend the first 4 ingredients!
2. Optional - top with your favorite fruits and nuts!

Makes 1-2 servings. Best when chilled. :) Though blending all ingredients in one go seems like the easiest method to do this, I actually prefer blending just the soy milk and avocado FIRST, before mixing in cocoa and stevia. This is because the pudding is really thick and creamy, and having it in the blender makes it really hard for me to get all contents up to the last drop! Also take note that the amount of cocoa powder may vary, depending on your taste, and on the brand you're using. So I suggest, add it one tablespoon at a time - check the pudding's color and taste first before adding the next one. I used Ricoa Breakfast Cocoa.
