Scoop ripe avocados into a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down sides as needed.

Sprinkle in unsweetened cocoa and blend on low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds, ensuring no lumps remain.

Pour in maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend 20–25 seconds until silky and evenly sweetened.

Sample the pudding. Add more sweetener or cocoa to reach your desired richness and sweetness, blending briefly after each addition.

Transfer mixture into serving bowls or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and enhance flavor.
