# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like indulgence but sneaks vegetables into your dessert without anyone noticing.
  • You can make it in under ten minutes, and your kitchen won't smell like a baking marathon.
  • It's naturally vegan and dairy-free, which means sharing it with friends who have different dietary needs suddenly becomes effortless.
02 -
  • If your pudding comes out too thick, don't panic; just add another splash of milk and blend again rather than starting over.
  • A pinch of salt is essential and sounds small until you taste the pudding without it and realize how flat it becomes.
03 -
  • The texture of your pudding depends entirely on how ripe your avocados are, so choose ones that are soft enough to give slightly when pressed but still have some structure.
  • For extra richness without adding dairy, melt a square of dark chocolate and stir it in after blending, which creates deeper chocolate notes that feel almost decadent.
