Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Would like to try this recipe.

INGREDIENTS

3 ripe avocados

3 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened and get the good stuff!)

2 oz of 70% dark chocolate (again, splurge on the good stuff it's totally worth it!)

1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated over night

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons raw honey

chopped peanuts to garnish (or go wild with sprinkles, get sophisticated with a sprig on mint, etc)

 

PREPARATION 

for the pudding:

- place the flesh of three rip avocados in your food processor and blend until completely smooth

-  in a double boiler or homemade double boiler (one sauce pan placed in another that has a couple of inches of water in it) melt the chocolate

- add melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup,  sea salt, one tablespoon of raw honey and 3 tablespoons of the cream at the top of your can of coconut milk (the solid goodness, not the liquid below it!) to your avocado and blend.  

- taste and adjust to your liking with more honey to sweeten it or a little more salt

- scoop into 3 jelly jars and refrigerate while you make the coconut whipped cream

 

for the coconut whipped cream:

- in a small mixing bowl combine the remaining cream from the can (again, just the solid part!) with 1 tablespoon of raw honey. 

- use a hand mixer to beat until it takes on the consistency of whipped cream (it happens fast!)

- scoop into the tops of the jelly jars and garnish with the chopped peanuts
