# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's deceptively decadent and nobody will believe you when you tell them it's secretly loaded with good fats and fiber.
  • Ready in ten minutes with zero cooking required, so it fits into those moments when you need dessert right now.
  • Works beautifully for dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free diets without any weird substitutes or compromises.
02 -
  • An avocado that's not quite ripe enough will create a grainy texture that no amount of blending can fix, so wait for soft ones or you'll be disappointed.
  • The pudding thickens as it sits, especially when chilled, so if you make it ahead, you might need to add a splash more milk when you serve it.
03 -
  • Freeze ripe avocados ahead of time if you want to make this pudding super cold and thick without diluting it with ice.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the pudding and makes the chocolate taste even more complex and interesting.
