Equipment
4 pudding cups or ramekins
1 small food processor
Ingredients
2avocadosUse 1 if it's very large
1can unsweetened coconut milkchilled overnight in the fridge
1/4cupmaple syrup
1/3cupcocoa powder
1smallcandy canecrushed
Instructions
Put all ingredients (except candy cane) in a small food processor. Process until smooth.
Divide mixture between 4 pudding cups or ramekins.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
Garnish with crushed candy cane (if using). Use the back of a coffee mug to crush the candy cane.
Notes
Use a hand-held mixer if you don't have a food processor. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Use more (or less) sweetener to taste.Use monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar in place of maple syrup to reduce sugar content. If you do this, add a bit of cream or non-dairy milk to get the creamy texture we are looking for.
