Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Peel and pit the avocado, then add the flesh to a food processor or blender.

  2. Peel the bananas and add them to the processor with the avocado.

  3. Add the cocoa powder and blend until completely smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed.

  4. Taste and blend again briefly if you want it smoother or less bitter.

  5. Spoon the pudding into small serving dishes or glasses.

  6. Dust the tops with a little extra cocoa powder just before serving.

  7. Chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator if you prefer it cold, then serve.
