# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like pure chocolate luxury while sneaking in the creaminess and nutrients from avocado.
  • Ready in ten minutes with zero cooking, perfect for dessert emergencies or meal prep on lazy afternoons.
  • Completely vegan and dairy-free but tastes richer than any traditional chocolate mousse you've tried.
02 -
  • Not all avocados blend the same way—watery ones make thin pudding while dense ones need extra milk. Taste as you go and adjust the liquid accordingly.
  • If your pudding breaks or looks separated, it usually means your avocado was past its prime or the blender wasn't powerful enough. Start over with fresh avocados and blend longer next time.
03 -
  • Use a food processor or high-speed blender—a regular blender can leave graininess because avocado is dense and fibrous.
  • Add a tiny squeeze of lemon juice to the pudding if it ever tastes flat, even though you won't taste the lemon itself.
