I've been craving chocolate lately, and I'm pretty sure it's the pregnancy talking. This decadent pudding gives me my chocolate fix, but in a healthy way of course. The avocado provides the creamy texture and healthy fats, while the cherries add loads of antioxidants and a yummy tartness. Now you can enjoy a rich chocolaty dessert, without any negative consequences. Awesome!
(I do think you have to be the kind of person that enjoys cherry chocolates, or this might not be the right pudding recipe for you. But please, try it out, and let me know what you think!)
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3/4 cup frozen organic cherries
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder, or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons almond milk
- splash of pure vanilla extract
- splash of pure almond extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Grade-B maple syrup (taste test to desired sweetness)
- pinch of sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender, and blend until smooth and creamy, while occasionally scraping down the sides.
2. Serve immediately, or store covered in the refrigerator to enjoy later (if you can wait that long).
Enjoy!
Approximately 2 servings
