Chocolate Avocado "Pudding"

mygnsac

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.

Like humans, dogs can be very resilient. However, it's highly dependent on weight--the bigger the dog, the more it can stand up to it. As for chocolate, dark/pure chocolate is specifically what's poison for dogs, which the cocoa powder in this recipe would be most like. Better to err on the side of caution.

I will try anything once. You never know. I must say it sounds disgusting though. Hopefully it's awesome and works great with Florida avocados which are large, cheap, and make horrible guacamole.

THANK YOU!!!!

I'm going to make this. Recently, I've been adding avocados to my smoothies and ♥!

If you are talking about "Slimcados" the large ones with the smooth, lighter green peel; I don't think they will work well because they tend to turn *very* watery when put through the food processor.

Sounds great, thank you.

Avocados are perfect in smoothies to make them thicker and creamier so would be awesome in this.

Avacados are also bad for them

Prolly depends on the size of the dog.... Mine ate 6 chocolate cupcakes, half the couch, glass Christmas balls, too many shoes to count... and he's still alive.

Thankfully he has grown up now :happy:

And I will have to try this recipe...

Avocado is super high in fat (77%) which would make it creamy for the pudding. It's basically replacing the fat in the pudding that would usually come from the milk product/ oil.
Why would you replace the normal fat source of pudding? Some research suggests avocado fat is "healthier" than other fat. Also- it's high in a diverse group of micronutrients (unlike other sources high in fat.) It's fresh and unprocessed. So that makes it a possibly healthier substitute! (Also to those with milk protein allergies, lactose intolerance... it's a good substitute.)

So the problem is do the flavors blend? Avocado is a mild flavor but would it go well with chocolate? I think chocolate is excellent at masking other flavors. (As are sweeteners..) So, I think it works! And the final product isn't green or anything... you might not be able to tell. I've heard some people say they can tell. There are different recipes that call for a small amount of other ingredients included that could mask the avocado flavor more. (Like soy milk and vanilla extract)

Anyway- I love it!
