Instructions

Pudding:

Mix ingredients for pudding in small jar or container and refrigerate overnight or for about 12 hours.

Ganache:

You can either make the ganache the night before or fresh when ready to serve. Melt coconut oil in a small bowl and use a fork or whisk to smash in avocado until smooth. Add other ingredients and stir well until light and fluffy.

Assemble:

When the pudding has thickened, spread about 1/4 of ganache in a bowl or jar and then add half of pudding. Top with more ganache and desired toppings. Repeat with second bowl and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

You can substitute stevia with other sweetener such as maple or agave if you don't need this recipe to be sugar free. If you prefer a smooth pudding and don't mind an extra dish to wash than you can blend both pudding and ganache in food processor or blender, separate or even together.
