You’re going to love decadent Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pudding dessert that is healthy and refined sugar-free.

I have a friend who hates avocados, but I’m seriously considering making this for him just to prove that they are awesome, ha ha.

I’ve actually shared an avocado chocolate pudding recipe in the past, but this version that includes peanut butter was inspired by Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s new cookbook, Eat to Live Quick & Easy Cookbook. Dr. Fuhrman’s publisher said that I could share this deliciously simple recipe which I slightly adapted.

I made this vegan dessert recipe in less than 5 minutes in my high-speed blender, so I can verify that it was indeed quick and easy.

I topped the pudding with some cacao nibs and peanuts for crunch. The pudding itself was silky and incredibly creamy. You’d never believe it’s vegan!

If you can’t tolerate peanut butter, then feel free to substitute almond butter. But, don’t even think about leaving out the avocados! Also, if you want an even simpler recipe without any nut butter, you’ll probably like my Avocado Chocolate Pudding recipe.

I made this Peanut Butter Chocolate Pudding last week and enjoyed it as my after-lunch treat. I was pleasantly surprised that it stayed fresh and not at all watery, even after several days in the fridge. The banana flavor is definitely prominent, but I didn’t mind it, especially since it helped make the pudding nice and sweet.

Be sure to pin this vegan dessert recipe to save it for later!

    Looks great, Carrie! I have always loved avocados, but have been eating more lately as I’ve found they help me to lose weight. Who knew – more fat = less weight?! This looks like a yummy way to incorporate more. Thanks!

      I wish I could say yes, Debbie, but it’s more like a PB Banana Cream Pie? The banana flavor is pretty strong, but I didn’t use as much PB or cocoa powder as in the original recipe. So, trying adding a bit more of those 2 ingredients and you might get your Reese’s! 🙂 XO.

    Carrie, I just made this pudding for my late night snack..it is so yummy! Thank you! I also tried to enter the contest for the cookbook and say how I like to eat avocados, not sure if it went through correctly. If not, my favorite way is in a mango, avocado salsa with jalepeno, green onions and lime juice. You can eat it with chips or roll it up in lettuce leaves. Super yummy!

    This pudding looks amazing! I’ve made avo puddings before but I love the date for sweetening – I’ve never done that before! And the PB just puts it over the top! YUM!

    OOOo, I’ve made avocado pudding plenty of times but have never thought to put peanut butter/nut butter into it! What a great idea. Next time I make it I’m definitely going to try your version!

    I love avocado with just about everything. I use them most often in homemade soups – I top each serving with some.
