Chocolate Avocado "Pudding"
This stuff is easy to make and so good. It's great as a sweet spread on toast or a fruit dip (love it with a banana), but I mostly eat it like pudding. I like to take a 1/4 cup of it to work and have it as an afternoon snack, or just have a spoonful now and then at home when the sweet tooth starts yelling at me.
Ingredients
I large avocado (or 2 small)
1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon of honey (or whatever sweetener you like)
Directions
Place ingredients in food processor and whip until smooth. Taste. Add more cocoa or honey as needed. This should taste and look like a rich, chocolate pudding.
Recipe makes about 4 - 1/4 cup servings. Keep refrigerated.

Some things should never be eaten together... Avocado and chocolate are two of those things.0

EWWWWW! Sounds gross, sorry.0

Try putting a tablespoon of almond butter or cashew butter in as well - its like nutella, you can also add a tablespoon of coconut oil to make it more creamy. So delicious as a dip for fruit! Pineapple is my favourite with it and totally satisfies a chocolate craving0

mmm... bump for later!0

Chovocado pudding is the BEST THING IN HISTORY, YES, EVEN BETTER THAN YOU, GANDHI.0

Ok you've convinced me to try!0

Avacodo and chocolate are not good for dogs, if you love your dogs be careful what you feed them.0
-
I know nothing of avocados, how do I know if it's "large" or "small"?0

ETA - i work with 100+ we feed the dogs DUMPED in the swamp & last year i personally saw the strays in the swamp when we go out to feed them , many are eating avocados to stay alive, so its not as bad as all that either.0 -
bump! I'll try anything once! and when someone mentioned adding a nut butter to make it taste like nutella, I'm in!0

My recipe involves 1 hefty avocado, 1/4c cocoa powder, 3TB agave nectar, 1/4c unsweetened almond milk and a wee dash of vanilla extract. This makes it a little smoother than just avocado + cocoa (which will be pretty thick), but at 4 servings, I have it at 143 calories. Not bad at all!0 -
I need to try this!0
-
This also works with squash.
I grind a tsp of chia seeds and mix it into it to help thicken it...but yum! Dairy free chocolate pudding and I get my veggies in? I'm in.0 -
bump...for making this later0
-
NOM! I make a similar one using brown rice syrup to keep the fructose low.0

This sounds fantastic... there is also a chance it could bring me to utter disgust but still... I'm willing to at least try it on the off chance that it could be heaven.0 -

So is avocado! :sick:
As for the recipe... don't knock it until you try it, guys! Avocado shakes are pretty popular in Vietnamese restaurants, and those are a sweeter take (though not with chocolate). Plus, any excuse to eat an avocado...0
