The ABC Pudding is a decadent, three-ingredient plant-based mousse that achieves a silky, rich consistency by blending creamy avocado with naturally sweet bananas. It is the perfect beginner-friendly dessert for those seeking a quick, refined treat that transforms simple produce into a gourmet chocolate indulgence.

Ingredients

Makes 3 servings

  • 4 bananas
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cocoa powder

Method

  1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into bowls and sprinkle some cocoa powder on top to garnish. Chill in refridgerator for at least an hour before eating - Trust me, the texture and flavor develop within this time.

  2. EXTRA TIPS: For a colder treat, use frozen banana slices instead and, once pureed, stick in the freezer for about 5 minutes before serving.

Cook's notes

  • Ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe; a slight yield under gentle pressure guarantees a smooth, lump-free texture without any grassy undertones.
  • Use spotty, overripe bananas to maximize natural sweetness, which balances the bitterness of the cocoa powder.
  • Always allow the pudding to set in the refrigerator for the full hour; this rest period allows the avocado fats to firm up, creating a mousse-like mouthfeel rather than a smoothie consistency.
  • For a perfectly uniform blend, process the avocado and bananas first until creamy before adding the cocoa powder to prevent dry pockets of powder.

Easy swaps

  • Instead of Cocoa powder, use Raw cacao powderOffers a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor profile and a slightly fruitier aromatic quality.
  • Instead of Avocado, use Silken tofuCreates a lighter, fluffier texture while remaining neutral enough to let the chocolate flavor dominate.
  • Instead of Banana, use Medjool datesProvides a richer, caramel-like sweetness if you prefer to mask the distinct banana flavor entirely.
  • Instead of Cocoa powder, use Carob powderAn ideal swap if you prefer a naturally caffeine-free and slightly sweeter, maltier tasting profile.

Frequently asked

Can I taste the avocado in this pudding?

Once blended with the bananas and cocoa, the avocado's flavor becomes virtually imperceptible, acting primarily to provide a luxurious, buttery texture.

My pudding turned brown after a few hours, is it still safe?

Yes, the browning is a natural oxidation process of the avocado. You can slow this down by pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding before refrigerating.

Can I use green bananas for this recipe?

It is not recommended. Green bananas lack the necessary sugar content to balance the cocoa and have a starchier texture that prevents the pudding from becoming velvety smooth.

Why does the recipe need to chill for an hour?

Chilling allows the fats in the avocado to solidify, significantly improving the 'set' of the pudding and deepening the marriage of the banana and chocolate flavors.
