Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (adjust for desired sweetness)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries (such as raspberries or strawberries), crushed nuts (like almonds or walnuts), or a dollop of coconut whipped cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: In a food processor or a high-speed blender, place the peeled and pitted avocados. Blend until they achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.

    Incorporate the Cocoa: Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder directly into the avocado mixture to prevent lumps. Blend again until the cocoa is fully integrated and the mixture is smooth.

      Sweeten the Mixture: Add the maple syrup and almond milk to the blended avocado and cocoa. Incorporate the vanilla extract along with a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything together until the mixture is silky smooth and well combined.

        Taste and Adjust for Sweetness: Sample the pudding to gauge the sweetness level. If a sweeter taste is preferred, add more maple syrup as needed, blending again to combine.

          Chill for Flavor Development: Pour the pudding into individual bowls or cups. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld together and creates a refreshing dessert.

            Serve with Flair: After chilling, serve the pudding and add your choice of toppings for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Fresh berries, crushed nuts, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream provide a delightful finishing touch.

                - Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, consider layering the pudding in clear dessert cups and topping each with a colorful mix of berries and nuts, before adding a light sprinkle of cocoa powder for that extra visual appeal.
