Important Recipe Notes and Tips for Success:
- It is best to chill the banana and ripe avocado before making the pudding. This way, you can serve it immediately, if you need to.
- Be careful not to add too much banana, or it will overpower the chocolate flavor. I used only half of a small banana.
- Always taste the pudding and adjust the amount of sweetness to your liking, adding increments of maple syrup, if you need to. Same with adjusting the cocoa powder to balance the chocolate flavor.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a few more drops of almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- For texture and additional crunch to the creamy texture, you can toss in a few semi-sweet chocolate mini chips into the pudding just before you scoop them into your serving glasses.
- Garnish with some grated chocolate on top and a few mini chocolate chips.
- If you plan to make it ahead, you will need to cover each serving glass tightly with clear wrap and refrigerate. Then remove the clear wrap from each glass before serving. You can make it ahead up to one day. The pudding will hold for a day or two, but it’s best to consume it the day you make it.
- Serve with some dairy-free whipped cream on top and enjoy!
