We all know what hallmark holiday is coming up. Whether you are a fan of Valentine’s Day or against it, we may be able to agree on one thing. Chocolates are good anytime! 😉

Some of us may be going out for a delicious meal with our partners; however, there will be some individuals who choose to make a special meal at home.

If you’re up for a healthier spin on dessert, why not give this recipe a try. You will whip this up in no time. The end result is pure bliss.

Decadent Chocolate Avocado Pudding (2 servings)

Ingredients:

1 avocado (ripened)

2 Tbsp Maple Syrup

1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 c unsweetened vanilla flavoured almond milk

1 Tbsp chia seeds

2 Tbsp- 1/4 c frozen berries (strawberries and/or raspberries) –> The amount will depend on how fruit you’d like your chocolate pudding to be

Mint Leaves

Directions:

1. In a mini food processor, mix all ingredients together. If you decide not to add the frozen berries, you are also able to mash all ingredients together with a fork given that you have a very ripe avocado. 😉
2. Portion into 2 ramekins. Put plastic wrap over each ramekin. Pop in fridge for 30 minutes to slightly cool the pudding down. If you’d like more of a gelato consistency, feel free to pop the ramekins into your freezer for 2-3 hours.

Enjoy!!!! 🙂

Food For Thought: If you are an avocado lover, here is a great way to hide a healthy ingredient inside a decadent indulgence. Make this and your partner may not even realize that he/she is not eating real chocolate pudding! 🙂
