Step-by-step
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process for a couple of minutes until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate for 30 min or more to set the pudding and enjoy.
- If you'd like, add some cocoa nibs.
Traditional starch-thickened puddings rely on heated starches to swell and trap liquid, whereas this raw emulsion builds its body directly from fruit fats and soluble fiber. Monounsaturated fats inside ripe avocados act as natural emulsifiers when sheared at high speed, suspending water molecules alongside cocoa solids to mimic dairy richness without heating. Bananas contribute pectin and long-chain carbohydrates that add viscosity, preventing the mixture from separating into a watery phase during storage.
Texture Development and Chilling Mechanics
Processing the ingredients in a food processor for a full two minutes forces air micro-bubbles into the mixture while shearing the avocado cell walls. This mechanical action releases intracellular lipids that bind tightly with the maple syrup and cocoa powder. Transfer the smooth purée into a sealed container and refrigerate it for a minimum of 30 minutes. This cooling period allows saturated fats within the avocado to firm up slightly, shifting the emulsion from a fluid paste to a spoonable consistency.
- If the mixture tastes too bitter, increase the maple syrup gradually at a 1-teaspoon ratio until the desired sweetness is reached without thinning the emulsion.
- Store this dessert in an airtight container pressed directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent enzymatic browning caused by polyphenol oxidase exposure to oxygen.
- Consume the chilled pudding within 48 hours, as the natural fruit enzymes will eventually break down the cellular structure and cause liquid separation.
