Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making the best Chocolate Almond Milk Pudding is to serve it super chilled. Trust me, the first time I made this, I skipped that step because I was too excited to dig in, and I could taste a hint of avocado. Once I let it chill properly, the creamy chocolate flavor completely took over, and it tasted like pure indulgence. Now, I always give it plenty of time to chill, it’s worth the wait!
- I like to adjust the amount of banana, honey, or maple syrup depending on how sweet and chocolatey I’m craving it. I always taste after blending and tweak it if needed.
- If you’re not a fan of banana, no worries! I often use 2-3 Medjool dates instead, and it works beautifully in this mousse.
- I don’t recommend freezing this pudding because the texture changes once it defrosts. It’s best enjoyed fresh and chilled.
