Sweet Potato & Avocado Chocolate Pudding - Perfect for Picky Eaters!

Creamy, rich, and decadent avocado chocolate pudding made with hidden veggies! This healthier version is just as delicious as the original but is packed with nutrients and is toddler-friendly and kid-friendly. It's dairy-free, gluten-free, paleo, and vegan, and you really can't taste the veggies at all!

Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato
1 medium avocado ripe
1/3 cup coconut milk or any milk of your choice - plus more, if needed
1/3 cup cocoa powder or cacao powder
2-3 tbsp maple syrup
1½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Poke holes in the sweet potato with fork and steam until fork tender (about 30 minutes), or use this air fryer method to cook it.
Remove the skin and add to a blender or a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner texture.
You can serve immediately, or you can chill to firm up a bit. If you like, top with fruits, shaved chocolate, or whipped cream.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Equipment: I recommend using a food processor or a blender for that ultra smooth and creamy texture.
Dairy: You can use any milk of your choice. To keep it vegan and paleo, use dairy free milk. However, regular milk or cream will also work.
Texture/Flavor: Adjust the milk and the sweetener to taste. You can add more milk if you prefer a thinner texture, and add more maple syrup if you prefer the flavor to be sweeter
Toppings: Add whatever toppings you want for added flavor and texture. I love shaved chocolate and fruits like banana, raspberries, or strawberries.
Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze for up to a month. The texture might not be as creamy when defrosted, but it'll still have that delicious chocolatey flavor. You can also enjoy it frozen like ice cream.
