Anyone who knows me knows I am not a proponent of sugar (my kids have called me the Sugar Nazi). But there are occasions when a dessert is appropriate, and for that occasion, I have a recipe for a chocolate pudding made with the healthiest ingredients possible. You might be surprised to find avocado in this pudding – it is the secret ingredient to a smooth delicious treat. And you can feel good about how nutrient-dense this dessert is when you serve your family.
Avocado Chocolate Pudding
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 6 tbsp raw cocoa powder
- a pinch of flake sea salt
Directions:
In a food processor, blend the first four ingredients together.
When smooth put into cups and cover with plastic.
Chill for 30 minutes, sprinkle with flake sea salt to taste, and serve.
Or…
Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, whipped coconut cream, pomegranate arils, blue berries, pistachio chips, a teaspoon of peanut butter, or even a dollop or raspberry jam, be creative!
Stores in the fridge for about 2 days – if it lasts that long!
