Looking for a dessert that’s as good for your body as it is for your tastebuds?

This avocado lime pudding is your new go to. Made with just six  ingredients, it’s rich, creamy, and bursting with citrusy freshness all without any dairy, refined sugar, or artificial ingredients.

Avocados are the star of the show here, lending a luxurious, mousse like texture and a dose of heart-healthy fats.

Paired with tangy lime juice, sweet agave nectar, silky coconut oil, and a hint of vanilla, this dessert is both nourishing and indulgent.

Reasons to make this recipe

  • This dessert is wholesome with clean ingredients with no refined sugar, dairy or junk.
  • A quick and easy dessert and ready in within 15 minutes.
  •  It’s perfect for busy days when you want a treat without the fuss.
  • This dessert is suitable for most dietary requirements.
  • It's a great way to use any overripe or additional avocados.

Ingredients you will need

Ingredients you need for avocado pudding

  • Avocados: The avocados are great for the creaminess and really yield the volume of the pudding
  • Lime/Lime zest: Both the lime juice and zest off zestiness and a tart, tangy taste.
  • Sweetener: Use a sweetener of your choice i.e maple syrup, agave, coconut nectar etc...
  • Coconut oil: This is used to add some omega fats to the pudding.
  • Vanilla pod/extract (not pictured): This is used for flavour, either the pod or the extract will do.
  • Optional topping: Garnish with shredded coconut, cashew nuts, seeds etc...

The steps

steps1-6 putting all of the ingredients in a blender

  • Grab all of the listed ingredients and place them in your food processor/blender.
  • Blitz until smooth and creamy.

Notes and tips

  • Do make sure your avocados are ripe (overripe is fine too) and slightly soft to the touch prior to use.
  • In terms of how sweet you want this pudding to be I found using 5-6 tablespoons of a sweetener such as maple syrup, raw agave nectar or coconut nectar was suffice.
  • This pudding is capable of staying fresh for 2-3 days but it's best to consume straight away.
  • To make the recipe keto friendly simply use erythritol/monkfruit instead.
  • Frozen avocados work well for this recipe to but you may need to soften it prior to pureeing.
  • If possible use a high speed blender/food processor to ensure a smooth pureed consistency.
  • Scrape down the sides of your blender/food processor to ensure the pudding is lump free and evenly combined.

    I love key lime pie but let's face it it is not the best for the waistline. This was a delightful alternative I will for sure make again!

    What a great idea for avocados! I love the idea of pairing them with lime as a dessert and natural creaminess of the avocado would make a great pudding.

    Oh my word I bet this is delicious! I could live on avocados (and practically do!). It would be fun with some of that whipped coconut cream (like whipped cream) on top too!

      Thanks Debi. I was so tempted to add some whipped coconut cream and the top. I knew I should have went ahead with that idea lol.

      Hey Imma, thanks girl. Yes please do give it a try, it has an acquired taste but definitely your type of thing if you like a citrus flavoured pudding.

      Renz I swear island people are SO boring when it comes to pear. All we do is peel it and eat it. You gotta try this recipe though, it's yum!
