# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and creamy without dairy or guilt, like you're getting away with something delicious.
  • Takes just ten minutes from craving to spoon in mouth, no baking or waiting required.
  • The secret ingredient makes it so rich that a small serving actually satisfies.
02 -
  • Soft avocados are your friend here—they blend to pure silk, while hard ones leave little flecks no matter how long you blend.
  • Don't skip the salt; it sounds strange, but it's what transforms this from sweet mush into something that tastes intentional and balanced.
03 -
  • If your pudding separates slightly in storage, just give it a quick stir before serving and it comes right back together.
  • The chill time isn't just about texture—letting it sit in the cold makes the chocolate flavor deepen and the whole thing tastes more intentional.
