    Healthy Chocolate Pudding Pops - These healthier treats are a delicious way to enjoy the classic! Made with avocado, which provides the rich and creamy base.

    Healthy chocolate pudding pop recipe

    It's hot and sticky here in Tucson, and whenever that happens, we bust out the popsicle molds!

    Anything that you can't get a kid to eat, my recommendation is to blend it up and make it a pop!

    Leftover smoothie? Fruit going bad? Blend it and freeze it!

    No one wants their broccoli??...You're on your own. There are limits, ya know.

    Like most tiny humans, my kids love chocolate and popsicles.

    I'm always searching for a good recipe that combines the two. Most that I've found have had either too much sugar or some other ingredient that I've found disagreeable for our allergy issues.

    Ergo, as with most things, I decided to make my own!

    Adding avocado to pudding pops

    The key ingredient here, folks, is the sneaky avocado.

    By now I'm sure you're hip to the idea of avo in more than just your guacamole. I've used it in more than one dessert recipe as well as my Banana-Free Chocolate Milkshake.

    Its subtle flavor and high fat content make a great replacement for milk and/or cream in recipes like these pudding pops.

    The cocoa powder and maple syrup both take center stage, taste-wise, and the avocado merely serves as the rich and creamy factor.

    These are always a big hit with my kids, and they're easy to make!

        Hi Cynthia,

        I either order one from Vitacost or buy the cheap kind from Trader Joe's. 🙂

      These are delicious both as pudding and as frozen pudding pops! My kids and hubby didn't see me making them so the avocado will stay my little secret 😉
