Vegan Avocado Chocolate Pudding

• 1 very large avocado
• 2 tbsp raw cacao powder (or normal cocoa powder)
• 1 heaped tsp maca powder (optional but gives a wonderfully malty flavor)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup date syrup
• 1/8 cup agave syrup or sweet freedom
• 1/8 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup hemp milk (or soy, rice, coconut, almond milk)
• sliced strawberries to serve

1. Halve the avocado lengthways. Carefully remove the stone using a sharp knife to twist it out. Using a spoon scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
2. Add all the other ingredients and blitz until completely smooth. If it is too thick you might want to add some more hemp/plant milk to loosen the mixture. Also taste for sweetness - if you have a sweeter tooth than me you can add a touch more agave but it shouldn't need it.
3. Serve immediately with sliced strawberry to garnish or place in fridge for at least an hour (recommended). This is the perfect dessert to make in advance for a dinner party.
