Ingredients
70 grams (1 cup) Dutch-process cocoa powder
160 grams (1/2 cup) Grade A dark, robust maple syrup
55 grams (1/3 cup) chia seeds
1 large avocado, pitted and scooped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
24 grams (2 tablespoons) coconut oil, at room temperature
Directions
Special equipment:
a heavy-duty blender (something in the 1,500 watt range should do the trick)- Place the cocoa powder in the blender. Microwave 1 cup of water for 1 minute then add to the blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
- Add the maple syrup, chia seeds, avocado, vanilla extract and salt plus 1 cup of water to the blender and blend on high for 45 seconds.
- Slowly stream in the coconut oil with the blender still running. Continue to blend on high until the pudding homogenizes, about 1 minute more.
- Transfer to a resealable container and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. The pudding will continue to set up as it cools. You can also dose the pudding into individual serving containers then cover and cool.
