Does it taste like avocado?!

Surprisingly, it does not! This is because cocoa powder has a very strong base flavor, which can mimic the more mild notes of creamy avocado. The technique used when making boxed brownies with black beans employs a similar technique.

Can I freeze avocado chocolate pudding?

No. Freezing will alter the structure of the pudding too much and it will lose its mousse-like texture. It's the same reason you sadly cannot freeze guacamole.

Can this be made in advance? How is it stored?

Yes! This recipe can be prepared three days ahead of time, if needed. It typically tastes freshest on Day 1, though. To store, place pudding in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to eat.

What equipment is needed?

A food processor is the best tool to use as it guarantees a smooth texture. If you do not have one, a blender can also work well.
