This Chocolate Avocado Pudding is an allergy-friendly, paleo, keto, and vegan dessert that even the kids love.
An easy healthy sweet treat, 100% sugar-free sweetened with sugar-free flavored maple syrup (Monk Fruit) for a silky smooth low carb keto chocolate pudding.
What’s A Keto Avocado Pudding
A Keto Avocado Pudding is similar to a chocolate mousse made with keto-friendly ingredients and with a portion of avocados to bring creaminess.
It’s a simple, healthy, low-carb dessert that doesn’t taste like avocado.
How To Make Keto Avocado Pudding
This chocolate avocado pudding is paleo but also Keto and vegan!
Yes, this recipe has it all. It has no sugar, no dairy, and the best silky smooth pudding texture you will ever taste.
Kids absolutely adore this chocolate avocado pudding recipe as the chocolate avocado mousse I shared earlier!
They usually don’t like raw avocado but they eat this pudding-like crazy – which makes me the happiest mum on earth, I never complain about extra veggies on their plate.
Pudding Ingredients
So this is what you need to make the best chocolate avocado pudding Paleo recipe at home:
- Avocado – no surprise, you need 2 perfectly ripe avocados, soft with a beautiful green flesh, no black/brown spots, if so discard them to avoid a weird flavor in your pudding. Avocados are great keto-friendly vegetables with a good amount of fiber.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – this is the best way to add a delicious chocolate flavor to your pudding recipe without adding sugar
- Liquid sweetener – I am using Sugar-free Monk fruit syrup – also called sugar-free maple-flavored syrup, the name changes, depending on the brand. I recommend this as a sugar-free keto sweetener but if you are vegan or paleo the recipe will perfectly work with 100% natural maple syrup. It will simply raise the sugar and carbs of your servings. Check out my review of keto-friendly sweeteners for more details!
- Unsweetened canned coconut milk – I love canned coconut milk for this recipe because it adds a creamy rich texture and a delicious coconut flavor too. Other options are unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk you like.
- Vanilla extract – just because a hint of vanilla in a dessert makes things taste better, but it’s optional
- Sea salt – believe me, you won’t regret that pinch of sea salt, it perfectly balances the sweet chocolate flavor and it will blow your mind!
Does It Taste Like Avocado?
It’s probably the first question that crosses your mind right now. Honestly? No.
I am using the perfect amount of sugar-free monk fruit syrup in this recipe to cover the avocado flavor. You will enjoy the silk smooth avocado texture without the veggie aftertaste.
If you still think this recipe has a too strong avocado flavor, you can add a few drops of liquid stevia to adjust sweetness and fully cover the avocado flavor.
But trust me, my kids eat this and never noticed there was avocado in there, and they are picky eaters.
Smooth Silky Texture
What I love the most about this chocolate avocado pudding is the smooth light texture.
It reminds me of French chocolate custard. It makes a delicious dessert on its own or you can use it as a cake frosting too!

Love it! Made it non-keto for my toddler and preschoolers. Used honey and whole cow’s milk.
Toddler had seconds. It was a hit, a healthy dessert.
This is by far the best chocolate avocado pudding! Thank you! The texture is smooth and creamy. It is the perfect dessert or a couple spoonsful when a sweet treat is needed.
When using canned coconut milk do you just use the cream at the top or mix and use?
Shake the can then measure the amount called by the recipe
This is the best chocolate pudding I have ever made and ate!! Thank you!!
Hi! I’ll be making this soon, but I have a question.
If someone thinks the avocado taste is still too strong, why wouldn’t you recommend adding more unsweetened cocoa powder, instead of recommending they add more sweetener? Part of this whole “healthy” thing really needs to include lowering sweetness acuity, which then cuts down the cravings all around.
Unsweetened cocoa powder has no added sugar, and sugar-free sweetener, even if zero carbs and keto, increase your sweet tooth, so it’s better to add more cocoa to hide avocado flavor than sweetener.
Hello I’m Shere and I addicted to this pudding jjajjaja
I cannot get over how delicious this is! I’m a huge homemade pudding fan, but usually I do it the old fashioned way with cornstarch and a double boiler and all that. This not only tastes amazing, it’s so healthy and so easy to make! Hubby and I are doing a 40 day sugar fast and I decided to give this a try. It seriously feels like I’m cheating, but I’m not! Thank you!!
Hi! Thank you for this recipe!
Can I use a blender instead of a food processor? Will the recipe come out the same?
Thanks!
You can yes, enjoy
Loved this chicken enchilada version. I have one question. Why do you not give all the gram counts— protein, fat, and carbs— for recipes? I am just starting out with Keto and find the gram count hard. I need all the help I can get. Thanks.
All these information are provided in the nutrition panel after the recipe, just before the section where you written this comment. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Really really good! Used dark chocolate cocoa powder anda few lily’s chips mixed in. I think I’ll try some coconut cream next time. Yum!
This looks delicious! I moved to a new house and we have a huge avo tree! Wondering if I could use honey as the sweetener? We have lots of loc honey here also 💕. Thank you!
Honey is not a keto friendly sweetener but if you don’t follow a keto diet it will work. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
I don’t have coconut milk but I have coconut cream can I use the cream in place of the milk.
Sure! It will be even better. Enjoy the pudding, XOXO Carine
AMAZING! I LOVE THIS WEBSITE AND I LOVE YOUR RECIPES!!
Thank you ! Enjoy all the keto recipes around here, XOXO Carine
Dear Carine,
First, all my best wishes for Christmas and the following New Year. I would like to try to combine 2 of your recipes and make a cake. For New Year’s Eve I want to bake the avocado brownie as a cake foundation and use this pudding as frosting/cream. What do you think?Could it work?Thank you for your amazing recipes! Greetings from Romania!
Hi! that is a great idea and I am sure it will be delicious! Otherwise try my chocolate avocado cake, much lighter than the avocado brownie, if you are more after a cake thn brownie. Enjoy! XOXO Carine.
What are the carbs if you used monk sugar instead of maple syrup?
The nutrition panel is already calculated using Sugar free Monk fruit sweetener (liquid, flavored maple syrup). Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine.
OMG is so delicious!
I am so glad you love the pudding too ! Enjoy the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Oh my this is so good! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is a little high on the carb count for me. If you like chocolate and creamy texture you should try this recipe.
