Home cook to home cook tips
- If your pudding tastes too much like avocado, don’t worry—just add more cocoa powder and sweetener. Keep adjusting until it tastes like chocolate mousse. The flavors will marry after letting it sit for a while, and the chocolate flavor will be the most prominent.
- Want it extra thick? Use less milk and chill it in the fridge before serving.
- This pudding is perfect for meal prep. Store it in small jars in the fridge for up to three days. My kids used to love having them as a midday snack.
