Expert Tips

• After much trial and error, here’s the easiest way I’ve found to de-pit an avocado: First, cut around the avocado lengthwise and twist the halves to separate.  Next, using the heel of a large, non-serrated knife, chop into the center of the pit in a swift motion (not a lot of force is needed here).  Then simply twist out the pit and discard.
• You can use all sorts of milk alternatives in this Avocado Pudding.  Non-dairy choices would be nut milks such as almond, cashew, or coconut milk.  You can also use oat or soy milk or make your Avocado Pudding even creamier by using half and half.
• If you like your pudding extra thick, leave out the milk and blend with yogurt (plain or vanilla) or ice cream.
• Instead of honey and sugar, you can use agave syrup or maple syrup.
• Add cocoa powder to make this a Chocolate Avocado Pudding (I like topping mine with raw cacao nibs).
• Blend with frozen mango chunks for a fruity Avocado-Mango Pudding (yum!).
