This avocado pudding is smooth, rich, and quietly indulgent in a way that doesn’t feel over the top. It’s the kind of recipe that blurs the line between snack and dessert—simple, creamy, and surprisingly satisfying. I usually make it when I want something sweet but still balanced, especially on afternoons when I don’t want to bake or deal with a long ingredient list.
Table of Contents
I first started making avocado pudding as a quick, no-cook treat that didn’t rely on heavy cream or complicated steps. After a few versions that were either too thick or too sweet, this one landed right in the middle. It’s inspired by that clean, minimal approach to food—letting texture and simple ingredients do the work without trying to disguise what they are.
Recipe Origin or Trivia
Avocado-based desserts have roots in many cultures, especially where avocados are naturally creamy and plentiful. In more recent years, avocado pudding became popular as a no-bake, blended dessert that feels modern, simple, and adaptable.

Method
- Halve the avocados and remove the pits, then scoop the flesh into your blender. The flesh should be bright green and slightly soft when ripe.
- Add the lemon juice to the blender to help brighten the flavor and prevent browning.
- Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and silky, with no lumps remaining. You should see a vibrant, creamy consistency.
- Taste the pudding and add honey or maple syrup if you’d like a sweeter flavor, then blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour the smooth pudding into ramekins or small jars, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place the ramekins in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and develop a firmer, velvety texture.
- Before serving, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as crushed pistachios, a dusting of cocoa powder, or fresh berries to add contrast and visual appeal.
