Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate, chopped or shaved (for garnish)
  • Orange zest (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or high speed blender, combine the avocado flesh, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla extract, orange blossom water, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  3. To serve, scoop the chilled pudding into two bowls or glasses, making a slight dip in the center of each serving. Garnish with shavings of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of orange zest.
