I wanted to share my Avocado Banana Pudding recipe because it’s a delicious, super simple, and healthy dessert that anyone can whip up in just 5 minutes, and a great alternative to my Tiramisu Chia Pudding or my 3-Ingredient Vegan Banana Pudding.

With only three ingredients – banana, avocado, and cocoa powder – it’s perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings without any guilt. Plus, it’s vegan and packed with nutrients, so you can enjoy it as a snack or a dessert. I hope you enjoy making and eating it as much as I do!

Ingredients and Substitutions

This paragraph gives you all my tips about picking the right ingredients. For the full recipe with measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post!Go to Full Recipe

Avocado – Look for Hass avocados, which are known for their creamy texture. Avoid avocados with dark spots or overly soft areas as they may be overripe or bruised. They would add a bitter taste to the pudding.
Banana – Choose bananas that are just starting to get brown spots. They should be sweet but not overripe to avoid an overpowering banana flavor. The sweetness of the pudding depends on the ripeness of the bananas.
Cocoa Powder – I use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. Look for high-quality brands with no added sugar or fillers for the best taste.

Expert Tips

Perfectly Ripe Ingredients: Make sure both the banana and avocado are perfectly ripe. A ripe banana will have a few brown spots on the peel, indicating maximum sweetness, while a ripe avocado will yield slightly to gentle pressure. This ensures a smooth texture and rich flavor.
Blending Technique: Use a high-speed blender or food processor to achieve a silky-smooth consistency. Start blending the avocado and banana first, then gradually add the cocoa powder to prevent clumping and ensure it’s evenly distributed.
Enhancing Flavor: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness. A tiny bit of vanilla extract can also make the pudding even tastier. For more sweetness, add some maple syrup of coconut nectar.
Chilling Time: For an extra refreshing treat, chill the pudding in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps to thicken the texture and intensifies the flavors. It might make a thin darker layer of chocolate, that’s fine, it’s edible!
Serving Presentation: Serve the pudding in small, clear glasses or bowls. Decorate the jars with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a few mint leaves to add a touch of elegance and a pop of color.
