I love Nutella (who doesn’t), so I’ve been developing all kinds of delicious ways to satisfy my cravings. A spoonful of Nutella is one of my favorite snacks, I mean… desserts. I don’t know about you, but I can’t get away with eating very much sugar – even organic sugar. So, I’ve been working on my favorite flavors without refined sugar. I’m right in the middle of a mission to use up 21 avocados, and this Nutella Pudding is one of the results.
Place all of the ingredients for the pudding in the food processor, fitted with the chopping blade and process until smooth. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides to make sure the finished product is completely smooth.
This pudding is good all by itself but, I like it even better with whipped cream and it’s the best with chopped hazelnuts and chocolate. In this case, more is definitely better!
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Nutella Pudding
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup maple syrup (Grade A)
- 2 Tablespoons toasted hazelnut oil
- pinch of sea salt
- Coconut Whipped Cream:
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup (Grade A)
- Garnish:
- toasted, chopped hazelnuts and finely chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients for the pudding into the food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Process until smooth 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides once or twice.
- Combine the whole can of coconut milk and maple syrup in the bowl of an electric mixer, and beat until soft peaks form, about 15 minutes.
- Serve the pudding with whipped cream, toasted hazelnuts, and chopped chocolate.
- The pudding and whipped cream will keep separately for 3-4 days in the fridge, just whisk the whipped cream before serving.
Notes
You can use honey instead of maple syrup. Start with 1/2 cup and sweeten to taste from there. If the pudding is a little thick, add a few tablespoons of coconut milk

Hello, this looks delicious and a local juice spot made something similar. I’ve been researching cacao powder/nibs and am coming up short. Which brand would you recommend? Thanks!

I sure hope you enjoy it, I also have an updated version of this recipe that I’ve left you a link to. I use the Nativas brand of organic cacao nibs because that’s what my local health food store carries, and they’re really tasty.

I love this recipe! Can’t wait to try other recipes on this website. I found hazelnut oil at Trader Joe’s last week.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! I always love coming across ‘gourmet’ items at a better price, we don’t have a Trader Joe’s here but maybe someday! 🙂
Made this last night and it was excellent, even without hazelnut oil! What a great discovery and I will certainly repeat this in our household. I will use Amaretto to substitute for the hazelnut oil next time…certainly a very tasty, easy to prepare, healthy and gluten free dessert! Thanks for posting this recipe online!

Amaretto sounds like a delicious substitution! You can use other roasted nut oils as well if you can’t have hazelnuts, I find most of mine at TJ Max of all places – they have lots of interesting stuff in their small food section! 🙂
