this makes a killer sweet treat that is full of healthy fats for your brain and body! i can't tell you how many times i have served this to non health enthusiasts and picky kids who have licked their forks clean! they have no idea its made with avocado, although i usually tell them afterwards! :) you can sprinkle some crushed almonds or walnuts on top or pour into a pie crust. a little bit of this rich pudding goes a long way, so its great for sharing with friends or having leftovers.
3 large or 4 medium avocados
1 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup honey (sometimes i use stevia or xylitol instead.)
3 tablespoons coconut oil
large pinch of salt, to taste
put all of the ingredients in the food processor or blender and mix till smooth delicious! dish it up and serve warm or if you can hold yourself back from eating it right away, it is really nice chilled. mmm...
it also freezes well, so you can store it away for when you need a quick chocolate fix!
for the crust, i do a combo of nuts (usually almond and/or macadamia), dates, coconut shreds and a some hefty shakes of salt ground up in the food processor until a meal, then pressed into a pie plate. i never measure these things, but if you are into that im sure you can find some recipes online for a raw nut crust. you dont want to make it too sweet or gooey, so that its a nutty salty balance to your rich sweet pie.
