🥑 Avocado Dessert Recipe

Avocado is usually thought of as an ingredient to enjoy in a savory recipe such as guacamole, or as a topping to tacos. When it comes to dessert, it is not an ingredient that many would consider using in a sweet recipe.

However, using it in a dessert recipe is actually a great idea. It is full of fiber and good for you fats, making it one fruit that you shouldn't avoid.

The avocado allows this recipe to become a no cook recipe. So, it is ready to enjoy in just minutes!

🥘 Ingredients

Avocado, this is what gives this chocolate pudding a rich creamy and indulgent feel, and you can barely taste the avocado!

Maple Syrup, use any grade syrup you like, or use a sugar-free maple syrup product.

Dutch Process Cocoa Powder, this is a deep dark chocolate that is more mellow in flavor and dissolves easier in liquids than regular cocoa powder.

Fresh orange juice squeezed from a oranges. We used a cara cara orange for this particular recipe, but any type of orange can be used.

Almond Milk

Fresh Raspberries

Non-Dairy Whipping Cream, this can be bought in an aerosol can in the dairy section of the grocery store.

🍽 Equipment

Wooden Citrus Reamer

Magic Bullet

Strainer (for the orange juice pulp)

Glass measuring cups, I use these to place the strainer over top of and juice the orange into it. (see video)

• Push the avocado through a ricer or sieve before blending to aid in a smooth blend.
