Chocolate Pudding (Avocado & Banana) - Mostly Raw

A more whole, and unprocessed version of pudding, this chocolate pudding is just as rich and creamy as traditional dairy based chocolate pudding, if not creamier!

(1 serving shown - Recipe makes 2 servings)

The key ingredient is the amazing and wonderful avocado...

Avocados are full of good fats and vitamins and we eat them by the bag full weekly in many ways, but this is a "weekend treat" for after dinner.

A sweet reward for hubby and I after Little B. hits the hay and we have some down time!  :)

In a small food processor (we use the Ninja), Blend:

1 Ripe Avocado
1 Ripe Banana (the sweeter the better)
A little water or soy milk (2 TBSP and add as needed after that)
3 Tsp Cocoa Powder

*Good as is, but tonight we added 1 TBSP brown sugar, and a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy-sweet chocolate flavor

I layered the pudding in a dish with graham crackers, sliced banana, and topped with slivered almonds and Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips, then refrigerated.

Quick and simple!
