No-cook Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding
Servings 2
This easy no-cook chocolate peanut butter pudding is a healthy and guilt-free dessert! Naturally gluten-free and grain-free with paleo, vegan and dairy-free options.
Ingredients
- 1 (23 grams) Medjool date or 4 regular dates
- 6 tablespoons (96 grams) salted natural peanut butter (use almond butter or another type of nut butter for paleo or just omit it
- 140 grams avocado this was 1 avocado for me
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (150 grams) plain Greek or regular plain yogurt (use coconut milk yogurt for a vegan / dairy-free / paleo version)
- 1/3 cup (38 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 medium banana mine was 120 grams peeled, optional
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar optional (you could also add more dates) – if not using a banana you'll likely need more than 3 tbsp of sugar
- milk of choice for thinning down the pudding, optional
- peanuts and shaved chocolate as garnish, optional (omit the peanuts for paleo)
Instructions
- Pulse the date(s) and peanut butter in the bowl of a food processor using an S-blade until there are no longer any large chunks of date(s) remaining. If not using peanut butter, pulse the date(s) and avocado before adding the Greek yogurt and the other remaining ingredients.1 (23 grams) Medjool date, 6 tablespoons (96 grams) salted natural peanut butter
- Add the avocado, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, vanilla and if using, banana to the bowl of your food processor. Process until totally smooth and creamy. There shouldn't be any lumps remaining.140 grams avocado, 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (150 grams) plain Greek, 1/3 cup (38 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 medium banana, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- Add sweetener to taste. If it's too thick for your liking, add a little milk at a time until it's the desired consistency.
- Spoon into a container and let chill for an hour in the refrigerator. Best enjoyed on the first day but will also be fine if prepared in the evening and eaten for lunch the next day. Garnish with peanuts and shaved chocolate, if desired.
Notes
- I used Greek yogurt, which resulted in extremely thick pudding. If you want yours a bit thinner, like regular pudding, use regular plain yogurt. Or use Greek yogurt and add some milk to thin it out.
