September 6, 2018
This is a no-fail recipe, sneaking in those essential fatty must-haves in the diet with out ever knowing you’re eating them! Fool your partner, your kids, and every chocolate lover out there.
Chocolate Avocado Coconut Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk*
- 2-3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- ¼ cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips**
- Pinch each sea salt and cinnamon
Instructions
-
Remove large pit from avocado, scoop out flesh with a spoon and place in a food processor. Add in coconut milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder and vanilla. Puree on high, scraping down sides a couple of times, until smooth.
-
Use the microwave to melt chocolate chips on medium for 1 minute. Stir and then heat again for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted and smooth. (Yes, I know. The microwaves will probably kill a bunch of your brain cells, but so does taking a walk down the street if you live in the city, so do it because it's way faster. If you're a purist by all means melt the chocolate slowly over a double boiler)
-
Pour melted chocolate into the food processor and add salt and cinnamon. Puree again until completely smooth, scraping down sides again once or twice.
-
Transfer to single serve glasses (like a fancy martini glass) or medium bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and get 'fudgey'.
-
Serve topped with fresh berries, toasted coconut, toasted slivered almonds, or even some whipped coconut cream.
