Avocado chocolate pudding? Yes, it sounds super weird, but that's exactly why I was so excited to try it. Plus, this pudding has no sugar so it's absolutely guilt free! The original recipe calls for carob powder, but I didn't have any on hand so I used cocoa powder instead. When substituting cocoa for carob powder use half as much cocoa as whatever the recipe calls for. Throw the avocado, lemon, salt, honey (or maple syrup) and cocoa in a food processor and shazam... chocolate pudding in less than 5 minutes! The avocado makes the texture super creamy, but you can't taste it. Now you're probably wondering about the taste: delicious.
Garnish with seasonal fruit (I think bananas go particularly well with chocolate)
Yields about 2 servings
