Get excited! You are gonna to LOVE this. This chocolate pudding recipe mixes the deliciousness of a decadent chocolatey goodness with the healthiness of an avocado and some super-foods.
It’s also loaded with protein and minerals. OK, This recipe should be illegal (i binge on it sometimes 😢😭🤣🤣🤣 )
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Some of you may have heard of ‘avocado chocolate pudding’ before, but I’m sure there are at least a few individuals scratching their heads wondering what avocado is doing in a pudding. The secret ingredient that makes it so healthy but also tasty is the use of avocados as the base for the pudding.
One thing I absolutely LOVE about cooking and eating healthy is finding substitutions for all those unhealthy ingredients that are typically found in indulgent sinful recipes. It’s certainly no secret that avocado is a favorite sub used in many recipes, especially in (low carb) baking
Avocado has the perfect texture to form the base of a great pudding and it mild taste allows the other flavours to dominate the meal. Being high in fat (healthy fats, the monounsaturated variety), avocado make this low carb dessert very filling and satisfying. They are also very nutritious and loaded with soluble fibre, vitamin E and potassium and other nutrients that help alkalize the body, aid digestion, lower blood sugar, and fight wrinkles, plus it doesn’t really taste like anything. This way you’ll get all of those health benefits, and get to eat pudding too!
PS. For non-avocado-fans, this is another great way to eat and enjoy while reaping the pack-load of nutrient and benefits of avocado. Don't worry you won't believe you eating avocado, it taste like chocolate ice cream.
PSS. It can be used as cake frosting
