This Kardashian avocado pudding is a secret I’ve kept for years, a silky treat that feels fancy but is so straightforward. I stumbled on it because I was tired of chunky guacamole and wanted something luscious and unexpected. It’s perfect for when you want to impress without fussing over complicated recipes.
Why I keep returning to this recipe
It’s quick, adaptable, and feels like a little luxurious secret. Every spoonful is a reminder that simple ingredients can be turned into something special. Plus, it’s a nod to the trend of clean, plant-based desserts that don’t compromise on richness.
What makes this pudding shine?
- Avocados: Creamy, rich, and smooth; the base. Ripe ones yield the best texture.
- Lemon juice: Brightens and keeps the green vibrant, cuts through the richness.
- Honey or maple syrup: Adds sweetness—balance is key, start small and taste.
- Optional toppings: Crunchy pistachios or fresh berries add texture and color.
- Salt: A pinch enhances all flavors—don’t skip this tiny pinch.
Tools of the trade for smooth results
- Food processor: Blends the avocado into a velvety smoothness.
- Measuring spoons: Ensures precise lemon and sweetener additions.
- Spatula: Scrapes down the sides of the processor bowl for even blending.
- Serving bowls: Displays the pudding beautifully for serving.
Step-by-step to creamy perfection
Step 1: Cut open ripe avocados, scoop into a bowl. They should be oozy and fragrant, almost buttery.
Step 2: Add a splash of lemon juice—brightens and prevents browning, plus adds a zing. Use fresh if you can.
Step 3: Blend everything until silky smooth—about 30 seconds in a good food processor—watch for a creamy, no-chunk texture.
Step 4: Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup. Blend again briefly to combine.
Step 5: Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. The pudding should set just enough to be spoonable, not firm.
Step 6: Serve cold, garnished with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios or a drizzle of honey.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Cut open the ripe avocados, scoop the flesh into a food processor, and discard the pits.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the avocados. This brightens the flavor and keeps the vibrant green hue.
- Blend everything in the food processor until smooth and silky, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed.
- Taste the mixture and add honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level. Blend briefly to combine.
- Transfer the pudding into serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing it to set slightly and develop a refreshing texture.
- Before serving, sprinkle with crushed pistachios or fresh berries for added crunch and color. Enjoy this silky, luxurious pudding chilled for the best experience.
Cooking checkpoints and pro tips
- The avocados should be perfectly ripe—soft to the touch but not mushy.
- Ensure the mixture is completely smooth—no lumps—using a good-quality blender.
- Chill the pudding enough so it firms up slightly but remains silky—don’t skip the fridge.
- Taste before serving—adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
Avoid these common pitfalls
- Unripe avocados that are hard and bland.? Use ripe avocados—underripe fruits stay tough and flavorless.
- Pudding turning brown after a few hours.? Don’t skip the lemon juice—oxidation turns the pudding brown quickly.
- Lumpy, uneven texture.? Blend longer if you see lumps—silky smooth is the goal.
- Serving immediately after blending.? Chill enough to set the pudding—warm pudding is too runny.
This pudding isn’t just about the taste, it’s about the feel—luxuriously smooth, with a whisper of citrus and a hint of sweetness. You can make it ahead, which makes it perfect for lazy mornings or last-minute guests. Enjoy customizing it with whatever toppings or mix-ins you love, from toasted coconut to fresh berries.
