A Sweetheart Chocolate Pudding Your Heart Will Love
Avocados give this dessert extra fiber, potassium, and heart‑healthy fats. Don’t worry—you won’t taste the avocado at all. All you’ll notice is the rich, chocolate flavor!
If you want a rich chocolate dessert that also helps keep your heart healthy, this soft, mousse‑like treat is a great choice.
Ingredients
- 1 small, ripe avocado (about 1/3–1/2 cup mashed)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind you like)*
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup or another sweetener**
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- A small pinch of salt
- Fresh raspberries (optional)
Directions
- Mash the avocado in a medium bowl. Add the cocoa powder and mix with a fork.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Use an electric mixer on high for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and a little fluffy.
- Spoon the mixture into two small bowls (about 4 ounces each). Put them in the fridge for 30 minutes so the mousse can chill and thicken.
- Add a few raspberries on top if you want extra color and flavor. Enjoy with someone you love!

- This recipe was tested with low‑fat milk. Any milk or plant‑based milk will work. If you use an unsweetened plant milk, you might need a little more sweetener.
- Maple syrup works well too. Honey is thicker but should still mix fine. If you use regular sugar, add a bit more milk if the mixture feels too thick.
