May 26, 2016 § 14 Comments
Once my husband learnt that this decadent dessert contained avocado – he was reticent to try some, so I used sprinkles to entice him…then he ate most of mine!. Enough backstory, here’s the recipe.
Ingredients
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
2 ripe avocados
1 banana (optional)
3 tablespoons coconut oil (optional)
2 tablespoons of raw honey (substitute with agave nectar or maple syrup if you’re not paleo)
1/2 cup unsweetened raw cacao powder (add as desired)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
2 tbsp of chia seeds (optional)
garnishings of your choice
Preparation time : 10 minutes / serves 2
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
1. Blend all ingredients till you achieve a smooth – paste like consistency.
2. Decant the mousse to ramekins and refrigerate for an hour (I was rather gluttonous and opted for half an hour).
FYI shelf life is 2 days
I would eat this up in a quick second, but I bet my husband would also question the ingredients if I told him avocado was added! Looks like a delicious pudding! Pinning!
Thanks for your positivity Thefoodieaffair. I’m unabashed in admitting to having eaten one of these desserts in 5 bites; and who could have imagined avocado becoming a staple within dessert recipes 🍴
Yum! This looks great! I have recently fallen in love with Avocados!
Thanks Carrie; aren’t they moreish 🙂
This sounds fantastic! I love avocado and banana. Never thought of putting them together.
Me neither & it was quite scrumptious Tiffany. I’m ripening two more avocado’s as you read this 🙂
I never thought that avocado can be mixed with chocolate! This is a great idea so I will not a hard time giving avocados to my son.
Hi Nicole – neither did I – till I tried it! It’s THE yummiest and most unexpected food combination!
Wow I would have never thought of this! Sounds really interesting!
I can’t believe how creamy and delicious this looks. I would love to sample it for myself.
I couldn’t believe it either. It’s so good toughcookiemommy. Am ripening some more avocado’s right now!
That sounds interesting. It’s not stuff I would ever pair together, but I bet it is good. It looks fantastic!
Thanks Tara8910 🙂
Love avocado never thought to make it this way. It looks really good. Is it the consistency of pudding?
