The key is to get avocados that are NOT ripe (but not underripe).

Yes, I’ve had a silken tofu chocolate pudding as well from my local health food store. They list ingredients of all their ready-to-eat items they make in their kitchen, including their hot entree bar and salad bar. The pudding includes the following: silken tofu, almond milk, vegan cocoa, organic vanilla and organic evaporated cane juice. I love it, its my power pudding that starts my day with all that protein in it!

I recently made a vegan chocolate pudding (but not raw, and not with avocado). My carnivore husband downed the entire batch and licked the bowl clean. The base of the pudding is made with silken tofu, which you blend in a food processor. Then add sweetener and cocoa powder (vegan versions of both) to taste. It doesn’t add fruit to your diet, but it omits the dairy and adds protein. There is absolutely no tofu taste, either.

I wonder if using coconut milk would mellow the avocado flavor and provide the additional creaminess that is missing from not using dairy, that or soymilk. Also, the ratio of avocado to the other ingredients is quite high. Perhaps starting with one avocado and adding more later if necessary? I’m interested in trying this recipe as my son cannot have dairy.

Maybe try the one with coconut cream before you write it off completely? I add it to my strawberry smoothies and it tastes just like the dairy ice cream with the same lovely creaminess minus the tummy aches that our family gets from dairy.
