Avocado Chocolate Pudding (aka, Chocomole!)

By pattie_d

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted
• 6-10 dates (depending on size of dates and desired sweetness – I’m usually happy with 8 medjool dates), soaked if necessary
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 4 heaping Tbsp cocoa or 2 Tbsp. carob powder
• 1/2 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients save the water in a food processor (you can use a blender or Vita, but food processors work much better for this recipe) and begin blending.

While the motor is running, drizzle the water in, stopping to scrape sides of bowl if need be, until the mixture resembles a thick, chocolate pudding. Let it continue mixing until smooth and creamy. The result will look something like this.


The idea is simple: puree avocados, cocoa powder, and dates in your food processor. The result is a thick, dreamy pudding that would never seem to be veggie-based, even though it is. I’ve served this to countless guests, all of whom have flipped out for the taste and texture, and it is one of my most popular blog recipes to date.
