A bizarre yet surprisingly tasty pudding blending creamy avocado with rich dark chocolate and a hint of chili for a spicy kick. This weird pudding challenges your palate with its unusual flavor combination.

Steps

Melt the dark chocolate gently in a microwave or double boiler.
Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth.
Add the melted chocolate, honey, chili powder, sea salt, and milk to the avocado.
Blend all ingredients until creamy and well combined.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve cold, optionally topped with a small sprinkle of chili powder or cocoa nibs.

Tips for Savory Avocado and Chocolate Pudding

A ripe avocado should yield gently to pressure and have smooth, pale-green flesh; fibrous or browned flesh can leave the pudding less silky.
Taste before chilling: avocado ripeness and chocolate bitterness vary, so adjust the balance of honey, salt, or chili to your preference.
Use a small blender or food processor for the smoothest texture; scrape the sides once if streaks of avocado remain.

Drink pairing

A small cup of espresso
Its roasted bitterness complements the dark chocolate and balances the pudding’s creamy richness.

0% option: Unsweetened black tea
