Leave it to cool-kid mecca Gjusta in Venice, CA, to create a produce-based, low-sugar, vegan-friendly, "good"-fat-filled, crowd-pleasing dessert. That would also be completely acceptable to eat for breakfast.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large avocados, pits removed
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

This pudding is a great way to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. My kids love the chocolate flavor, and they don't even realize that they're eating avocado and spinach.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I actually really enjoyed this pudding. The chocolate flavor is strong enough to mask the avocado flavor, and the pudding is very creamy and smooth.

This pudding is a great way to use up ripe avocados. I always have a few avocados on hand, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.
