Raw Chocolate Avocado Pudding

By Kathy C.

Ingredients

• 1 medium avocado (ripe and at peak of perfection please!)
• 1/2 cup dates
• 2 1/2 tablespoons raw cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup water + 1/8 cup water
• 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (OR 1/8 tsp liquid stevia plus 2T water)
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• NOTE: Didn't blend in my Vitamix. Next time I will soak the dates in the water first to soften them.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Throw these raw chocolate avocado pudding ingredients into a high-speed blender. Start blending on slow and then crank up the blending speed to high.
2. Blend this sucker until puddingy and gooooood! You might need to start and stop this a few times to get it to blend properly because the dates will require more blending than pudding recipes that don't contain dates. If you have a good blender (AKA Vitamix or Blendtec) then you should be able to get this super smooth.
3. You may need to add a tiny bit of extra water to facilitate blending. But if doing so only add TINY bits at a time! Try not to add extra water or it'll end up watering it down and changing the consistency.
