Chocolate Avocado Pudding
4 medium sized avocados
½ cup packed dates (pitted) about 12
5 tbsp raw cacoa powder
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Soak dates in warm water until soft then drain (usually 15-30 mins)
2. Put all ingredients in blender (or food processor works too)
3. Blend until it’s smooth > will have to blend a few times
4. Chill in fridge 1 hr before serving
I usually have to stop the blender and scrape down sides a couple times even with my high-powered blender so if it takes a little bit of time don’t feel defeated it will work and it will be worth it!
Makes 4 servings and will last in fridge a few days.
Enjoy!
