This chocolate avocado pudding is so good it's sinful. Except that it's not sinful at all. It's gluten free, sugar free and dairy free. No need for double boilers or whipping cream to make this rich and creamy dessert. This tasty delight is raw, healthy and incredibly easy.
I served this at a recent dinner party, and my guests were literally licking their bowls clean. Plus it has amazing health benefits. Yep, that's right. Delicious AND healthy! It's made with raw cacao powder, which is rich in antioxidants, and is a good source of dietary fiber and magnesium. The good fat in the avocados carries a long list of health benefits that help your heart, your eyes, your skin, your digestion and your blood pressure. So go on... dig in!
