Equipment

  • 4 pudding cups or ramekins
  • 1 small food processor

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados Use 1 if it's very large
  • 1 can unsweetened coconut milk chilled overnight in the fridge
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 small candy cane crushed

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.
