Course Dessert
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados flesh only
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/3–1/2 cup maple syrup to taste
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract + pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Scoop avocado into a blender. Add coconut milk, cacao, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt; blend until ultra-smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate level.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes to thicken and let flavors settle.

Notes

Optional toppings: coconut whipped cream, berries, or chopped nuts. Emma likes frozen raspberries and a sprinkle of sea salt. Rachel’s note: If your avocado isn’t fully ripe, it may taste grassy.
