This. Looks. Amazing. And for anyone on the blender diet, you’ll be guaranteed a good amount of the nutrients and calories you need.I can’t even deal with the texture of pudding (let’s get into that later), yet still want to try this. So what I’m going to do is thin it out with extra water — although more likely milk or rice milk — and see how it turns out as a chocomole shake.
Note: if you generally care about good nutrition, food, and planet, you should be reading Susheela’s blog on a daily basis.
Is there anything that avocados can’t do?
They’re high in LDL cholesterol-lowering fats, fibre, potassium, and folate. Among other things, this makes them great for heart health!
I promised you dessert, so here’s one that employs the mighty avocado:
Avocado Chocolate Pudding (also lovingly referred to as Chocomole!)
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (substitute: 8 medium-sized dates)
- 3 1/2 tbsp. raw cacao powder (substitute: carob powder)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4-1/2 cup water
Directions
- Process everything in a food processor, adding water as needed, until smooth.
Yield: 2 servings
The original recipe was another one shared in class by my lovely friend, Erin.
I should warn you that this amazing pudding is seriously rich, so pace yourselves!
