This vegan chocolate pudding recipe is packed with whole-food, plant-based powerhouse ingredients that are staples in most households: no soy, no nuts needed, just pure, delicious, whole foods.
Avocado and sweet potatoes are the secret ingredients to making this vegan pudding smooth and creamy.
I tested this recipe with top chefs who could not taste the avocado or sweet potato. They just tasted a deep, rich chocolatey flavor.
A delicious treat that makes you stop dead in your tracks, eyes roll back, sit down and enjoy the flavor. Even the most finicky eaters just keep eating it and saying what a delicious flavor—a deep, rich, velvety chocolate that keeps you eating it, but not too much.
WFPB dessert recipes should be a powerhouse of nutrition, refreshingly delicious, fast, and easy to make with no expensive additives. Just pull from the frig and dump in the bullet easily.

I must tell you that if you are going to make wfpb desserts, dressings, sauces, soups, and dips you are going to want a Magic Bullet or heavy-duty blender like mine! It really does a fabulous job blending all your ingredients into a smooth mix in no time at all.
Why are Avocados good for you?
Avocados are loaded with vitamins and minerals; help reduce inflammation, lower bad cholesterol, and increase good cholesterol.

Why is maple syrup better than granulated sugar?
Maple Syrup is a natural sweetener much better than using granulated sugar. Real maple syrup has no additives and keeps its essential nutrients. It has a lower glycemic index than granulated sugar, so blood sugar levels do spike as quickly. It also is an antioxidant. No fiber is in maple syrup, so consume it in moderation.
Is Cacao powder good for you?
Cacao Powder is different from cocoa powder because of its processing. Cacao Powder is made from fermenting the beans and not roasting them. This protects the nutritional value of the bean and will help reduce your:
Blood pressure
Inflammation
Risk of heart disease
Risk of diabetes
Cacao Powder is also an excellent source of:
Iron
Protein
Magnesium
Potassium
Fiber
I absolutely LOVE this vegan chocolate pudding and have no guilt about serving it or eating it. Serve it for dessert, and enjoy a guilt-free breakfast the next morning.
Easy Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels
- 1/4 cup Runamok Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup
- I cup cooked mashed organic sweet potatoes- skin removed
- 1 cup ripe organic avocado- skin and pit removed
- 3 TBSP Better Body Foods Organic Cacao Powder
Instructions
- Melt the Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels in a microwave oven at 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir every 30 seconds. Or melt over a double boiler.
- Add the mashed sweet potato, avocado, Runamok Maple Bourbon Barrel aged Maple Syrup in a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, melted Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels, and Better Body Foods cacao powder.
- Blend until it's smooth and creamy. Add more maple syrup if needed to get a smooth consistency.
- Scoop into 4- 4oz serving cups and chill for 1 hour. Serve cold
Notes
- If you don't have cooked baked sweet potatoes in the refrigerator, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 30 minutes with the skin on. The sweet potato should be easily pierced with a fork when fully cooked. Let cool completely. This is the cooking time referred to in the recipe.
- Freeze the individual servings for 4 hours for a nice cream to be served the same day. Do not store in the freezer. Avocado does not freeze well.
