Recipe: Avocado Chocolate Pudding



I'll admit it, the title to this post sounds gross. But look, when it comes to food, I am not going to steer you wrong. I love and respect the act of eating too much to subject anyone on this earth to a bad meal. So trust me when I say that not only is avocado pudding legitimately delicious, it is also absurdly easy to make. I'll break it down for you. Combine the following ingredients in a food processor:

1 ripe avocado
1 ripe banana
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
a dash of cinnamon

Once mixed, refrigerate. In an hour, you've got a slightly bitter chocolate pudding calling your name. Top it with whatever you'd like. (If you're more a milk chocolate person, you might want to top it with powdered sugar to soften the bitter chocolate taste.) There's no milk or eggs or "tempering" (whatever that is). This still doesn't make pudding health food, but this is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without all sorts of refined sugars and trans fats and other unhealthy whatnots!
