Every time I search the web for a paleo frosting, I get overwhelmed. The recipes require a lot of ingredients, steps, and time. One year I tried to make a whipped coconut frosting for my son’s cake, and I couldn’t get it to set for the life of me.
This is always my go-to frosting that I fall back on every time. When I frost a cake with this avocado frosting, I hesitate to tell people what it is when they ask, and they always ask. Avocado on top of a cake just doesn’t seem right, but believe me, it is!
Check out this simple recipe, plus 5 different flavor variations below!
Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Blend on high. Stir if needed.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
CHOCOLATE AVOCADO PUDDING SERVING SUGGESTIONS
PALEO FROSTING
This peanut butter chocolate pudding makes the best paleo frosting for any birthday cake. Spread over the cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.
I use my paleo brownies recipe (without the added peppermint essential oil) as a chocolate birthday cake. Topping it with this pudding makes a great healthy birthday cake.
Eating a bowl of this pudding plain is a delicious yet healthy snack for anyone. Because of the ingredients, I even feel good about serving this for breakfast. My kids think it is the best, and I am still getting vegetables in them, WIN-WIN!
Top it with coconut flakes, nuts, mixed berries, or sliced bananas for an extra special treat!

Have you ever made avocado pudding? What was your favorite variation? My favorite is the peanut butter chocolate, with the orange chocolate being a close second!
Move over peanut butter and jelly, there's a new flavor combo in town. At first glance, peanut butter and avocado may seem like an odd duo. But trust me, the combination of creamy, nutty peanut butter with the rich, buttery taste of avocado is surprisingly delicious and makes for a great healthy breakfast.
Blend avocados, cocoa powder, brown sugar, coconut milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a blender until smooth. Transfer pudding to a container with a lid, then refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
The combination you want to stay away from is eating avocados (a fat) with nuts (a protein). The raw fat properties of the avocado have an inhibiting effect of the digestion of the protein in nuts.
Add fresh leafy herbs or your favorite herbed sauce: Chopped fresh basil, cilantro, dill or parsley are all good with avocado. So is a drizzle of pesto, zhoug sauce (spicy cilantro sauce), or chimichurri. Put an egg on it: I love to top my avocado toast with a fried egg for extra protein (example here).
A classic pairing like apple or banana slices and peanut butter are a safe bet and will leave your sweet tooth satisfied without any guilt. You can also think outside the box and try other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, pears, peaches, or raspberries.
Avocados take center stage in this easy dish. Simply dressed in fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, they get an extra punch of flavor from kosher salt and fresh black pepper and some chopped herbs and diced tomato.
Acidulants, such as citric and ascorbic acid found in lemon juice, help lower the pH of avocados and decrease the enzymatic activity, keeping them from turning brown ( 1 , 3 ). Therefore, squeezing a little lemon juice on top of your cut avocado before storing it could help delay browning.
The nutritional content of avocados helps improve maternal health, breast milk quality, and birth outcomes. Studies show that folate can also reduce the risk of depression by preventing the buildup of hom*ocysteine, which tends to hamper the circulation and delivery of nutrients to the brain.
Avocados contain Omega 3 fatty acids as well as vitamin E which helps skin to repair damage caused by acne, eczema, pimples, or scrapes. Avocados promote healthy skin growth and applying it to your skin can give you a more even skin tone.
For dinner, the children eat steamed veggies, gluten-free pasta, and/or lean protein, usually fish. To spice things up on the weekends and at birthday parties, she allows them to have extra gluten and dairy free cupcakes which she says they love.
