It is true you can't taste the advocado, but it sure does need some added sweetness. I added honey and vanilla but it still came out tasting like a chocolate-banana shake, not a chocolate pudding.

I am the original submitter of this recipe and am so pleased with how many people have enjoyed this. Thanks for the feedback (good or bad)!!! I finally got to try this on some other family members when they came to stay with us for a few days. They were all looking at me like I was crazy, but everyone tried it. Three out of four were really impressed and two asked for seconds. My younger brother said it tasted too much like the cocao. Oh well, you can't please them all! :) Based on one of the other reviewers, I made frozen chocolate pops with the pudding by simply pooring the mixture into ice cube trays and sticking a toothpick in each cube. It was a stifling 108 degrees outside today here in the Arizona desert and these little treats certainly made it easier to get through the hot afternoon!

Love this. I use So Delicious carton coconut milk instead of soy milk since that's what I keep around. I make this about once a week and use it for snacking.

Delicious. I can even feed it to my sweetie - and he's diabetic!

I was really excited to try this recipe and was sadly disappointed. The avocado I used wasn't quite ripe so I'm not sure if that was the problem or something else. The texture was kind of chunky and unpleasant. I'm going to try to make it again in a couple of days to see if it turns out better.

I agree with some of the other reviews. The banana was a bit over powering. I think next time I make this I will only use 1/2 a banana and omit the coconut. I didn't like the texture the coconut gave it. I did like the chocolaty flavor, and the look on my husbands face when I told him it had avocado in it.... was priceless. I will make it again. It was super easy.

I'm a pretty good cook, and I've never had trouble with any recipe on this site, but this one just did not work out. I followed the recipe very closely and used fresh ingredients, but when I tasted it, it was terrible. I could taste the avocado, the lemon juice, and the banana, and it was NOT a good combination. I ended up adding some vanilla and finally 1/4 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar just to make it slightly palatable. I'm all for health benefits, and our family eats pretty healthy on a daily basis, but healthy pudding does no good if it goes straight into the garbage. I'm giving it two stars only because it was salvageable (although it remains to be seen whether or not my kids will eat it).

Yumm!!!!! This was one of only 2 agave recipes on allrecipes.com. I have made avocado drinks with milk and sugar for years. My children beg for it, so I wasn't surprised that this was very good. I really enjoyed it! Thanks for the unique recipe. Do you have some more agave recipes?

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed after the rave reviews I read. I followed the recipe, but substituted honey for the agave nectar, and added a few cacao nibs in addition to the cocoa powder. I am a fan of healthy eating and whole foods, but I think there are tastier ways to do it. Sorry, but thanks for sharing anyway! It certainly is one of the most creative recipes I've ever tried!
