# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the creamy luxury of traditional chocolate pudding without any dairy or refined sugar
  • It comes together in literally 10 minutes with ingredients you can keep on hand for chocolate emergencies
  • The texture is so velvety and indulgent that nobody ever guesses it’s good for you
02 -
  • The blender is your best friend here—any little green chunks will give away the secret, so keep blending until it’s completely uniform
  • Chilling isn’t optional if you want the proper pudding texture, though I’ve been known to eat it straight from the blender in a pinch
03 -
  • If your avocados are slightly underripe, add an extra tablespoon of milk and blend longer to compensate
  • Adding a tablespoon of melted dark chocolate before blending makes it even more decadent
