The Best Avocado Pudding
Growing up in Sri Lanka, my mom would feed my sister and me a green pudding made with coconut milk, avocados, and sugar, long before it was a TikTok trend!
Back in the day, any green pudding was eyed suspiciously by us kids.
Green pudding always had me thinking what kinda sneaky shenanigans was my mom up to?!
But that avocado pudding my mom made was so rich, so creamy, so deliriously delicious. To me, that pudding was better than ice cream!
When my daughter was a toddler, I continued the avocado pudding tradition, and this grew to be one of her favorite treats!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Ripe Avocados: They should be soft to the touch but not bruised.
- Milk of Choice: Use full-fat coconut milk for maximum creaminess. Almond milk, oat milk, or any other dairy-free milk would work as well.
- Sweetener: You can use maple syrup, honey, or a keto-friendly sweetener like Monk fruit or Xylitol.
- Lemon or Lime Juice: This is the ingredient that brightens the flavor and prevents the pudding from turning brown (oxidizing). If you plan to eat the pudding immediately, then the lemon/lime can be left out. However, if you plan to make this and chill it in the refrigerator, then add the lemon/lime to keep it looking vibrant.
- A Pinch of Salt (optional): Enhances the sweetness.

How to Make Avocado Pudding (Step-by-Step)
- Scoop: Remove the pit and scoop the flesh of 2 ripe avocados into a blender or food processor.
- Combine: Add your milk, sweetener, and lemon juice.
- Blend: Process until completely smooth and velvety. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Chill (optional): Transfer to small jars and chill for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set. However, this avocado pudding can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Recipe Tips & Hacks
- Stop the Browning: If you plan to store this for more than an hour, do not skip the lemon/lime juice. The acid acts as a natural preservative.
- The “Hand Mash” Method: No blender or food processor? Then, make it as my mom did in Sri Lanka! Use a fork to mash the avocado until very smooth, then whisk in the milk and sweetener. It will have a slightly more rustic texture but tastes just as good.
Variations
- Make it with Vanilla: Add in a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to add a deeper flavor to this delicious treat.
- Make it with Chocolate: Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder to create a Chocolate Avocado Pudding recipe (like this avocado chocolate pudding), which is bursting with chocolate flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is avocado pudding keto-friendly? Yes! To make this keto, simply swap the sugar for a zero-carb sweetener (like Stevia or Monkfruit) and use heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk.
How long does avocado pudding last? Because of the lemon juice, this pudding stays vibrant for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent air contact.
Can I freeze this? Yes! Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and make a batch of “Avocado Fudgsicles”—a favorite summer treat!

Thank you for sharing this recipe – it turned out AMAZING!
Never thought I’d love avocado pudding but this recipe is simple and delicious!
OMG! I used to have this when I lived in Brazil! Thanks for posting the recipe!
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! It is unbelievably easy to make and tastes surprisingly good! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your posts.
delicious and so easy!
Do u have to use the creamer blender to make it like yours?
Could you use normal milk instead of almond milk?
Hi Ella – any blender would work, you don’t have to use the blender I have. In fact, even an electric handheld mixer should work – that’s what my mom used to use when we were little when she made us avocado pudding. Also, yes, you may use regular milk as well.
Just made this today
. Tastes amazing and an easier way for me to eat them. Thanks.
I have ingredients similar to these that I definitely NEED TO USE TO MAKE THIS RECIPE TOOOOODAYYYY!!!
Oh I’d forgotten about that recipe Sashi. But I’m glad you’ve re-published it. Such stunning photographs and such a delicious pudding too, I bet!
So much Yaaaaaaaassss to this pudding, Shashi!!! I am absolutely swooning over the green color!!! But, much like you, I probably would have given it a suspicious look when I was younger! Just goes to prove how crazy we were when we were children. 😉 I can’t believe this beauty is only 4 ingredients too!! Such a delicious snack or dessert! Pinning! Cheers!!
Hahaha – you were sneaky with the whole ice cream thing 😉 Though, I do bet that this tastes AMAZING! Looks so creamy dreamy, Shashi! What a fantastic way to use one of my favourite things – avocado! Imagine a lil’ chocolate shavings on top?? Hope you have a fabulous weekend, my friend! XOXO
So rich and creamy this avocado pudding looks! I am liking how this recipe uses a very few ingredients and is easy to whip up. Totally in love with your photography as well.
So creamy, rich and delicious. Have you ever poured these into an ice lolly mould and made popcicles? In the Philippines we call this avocado ice candy? Just pinned!
I’ve never had an avocado dessert and have no idea why! This looks so creamy and decadent and that color is beyond beautiful!
OK, Shashi, it’s about 10:00 pm here and I can’t wait until morning so I can make some of this avocado pudding, I have all the ingredients and I’m supper excited! PS: This will demonstrate about the dark corner of the world that i sometimes inhabit: I have never heard of this stuff!!! That said, it’s probably the most delicious looking treat that I have seen all day. Thanks for republishing this post!

You are so funny. And evil. Avocado pudding is ice cream. YAY!!! Ha ha. You could only get away with that one for so long. This does look very creamy and delicious. Avocado is wonderful about making things creamy – great in smoothies too. Great recipe and to think your mama was making this forever ago. Good for her. (and all of us!) XO

Avocados do make a great pudding base seeing as they’re so rich and creamy! I made a chocolate avocado pudding once, and it was some of the most decadent pudding I’ve ever had! Love this simple lemon version. 🙂

What a great idea for a pudding. I’ve had avocado cake and shake but not a pudding! 🙂
Thank you so much Lorraine – I gotta try some avocado cake! yum!
Shashi, this truly IS a bowl of bliss! So healthy, too. I love everything avos and I always have almond milk on hand. Love that there is a squeeze of lemon. Could probably do part lime juice as I have a bunch of them in a big ol’ bowl right now. Cannot wait to make this! Thanks for sharing, girl! And, have a wonderful summer weekend! xo
Thank you bunches Stacy – lime sounds awesome! You could even throw a little zest in the pudding and on top for garnish – GREAT idea! Hope you have a wonderful summer weekend too!
xo

Thank you so much Sharmila! MI haven’t had it as a drink yet…Oooh what an awesome idea!
This looks amazing, I’ve always wanted to make avocado pussing! It seems so smooth and silky 🙂
Thank you Consuelo! 🙂
I love avocado mousse and have yet to try avocado pudding…I didn’t know it existed. Thanks for a yummy recipe that I can feel good about eating!!!

Looks so good.. i’ve never tried avocado pudding without chocolate. do you taste the avocado at all?
Thank you bunches! Yes, in this you definitely taste the avocado – great if you adore avocados, not so much if you dont 🙂

I’ve been meaning to make pudding with avocados for a while now and your short list of ingredients and instructions are making it look so easy! I already have all the ingredients, so this MUST happen this weekend!
Thank You Julia! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂
Avocado can do no wrong. I love it in puddings and smoothies, but I have yet to try it with a “squeeze” of lemon 😉 Love the idea!
Thank you Amanda! So may times it’s a “Squeeeze” or a “pourrrr” or a “smidgeon” and “spalsh”… I really need to work on measuring better eh?! 🙂
oh this looks delicious- i agree this truly is good comfort food for the soul. so healthy, and so satisfying- im going to have to make this!! have a great weekend!
Thank you so much Charlotte! I hope you find total peace at the end of the bowl 😉
Hope you have a great weekend too
I like to think that when life hands you lemons, you whip out the tequilla & salt but making avocado pudding sounds pretty ideal too ;)! I love the addition of citrus- it’s a nice change to the chocolate avocado pudding that has become quite popular!
Haha Khushboo! 🙂
Thank you!
Lately I will eat or drink anything with avocado in it! Cannot seem to get enough of it!
Yummm yum yum yumooo. This looks delicious, and if it brings peace..count me in!
Haha You’re in!
Thanks Brittany!
I can’t resist anything avocados. This is so so good!!
Thank you Kiran! Lately I have been craving them like crazy!
