** make this at least 24 hours before you want to enjoy it. See notes at bottom

Ingredients:

4 med size ripe avocados
1 cup coconut cream (canned)
4 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocao powder (I love Nativa.. Just look for only ingredient being “cacao” NOT Cocoa on the label)

3 ounces of dark chocolate ** must say Cacao.. NOT Cocoa (72% or higher), melted My fav is “Taza Chocolate- WICKED DARK”
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tbsp plant based milk (oatmilk or almond are best)
1/8th teaspoon salt
fresh mint for garnish *optional

Directions:

1. Remove avocados from the skin (and pit) and place in a blender or food processor.

leave till you’ve added the rest of the ingredients before blending.

2. In a small pot on low melt the chocolate bars & coconut cream (bout 2 mins). Add to avos in blender

3. Add cacao powder, honey, vanilla and salt, blending until pureed, scraping down the sides when needed to combine.

Taste and season/sweetened additionally if desired. Blend for a good 1 to 2 minutes until completely creamy.

**Put in fridge for 24 hours before FOR best consistency . This is VERY filling stuff – about a 1/4 cup serving is great as a snack or dessert.

Okay, so I’ve been on a chocolate kick. Honestly I’ve always loved chocolate but this year I’ve really been digging the stuff.

Most likely it’s due to stress and massive life changes. My husband and I left our jobs and life in Seattle to focus on family and grow our own businesses. I immediately sought out my old comforts; yoga studio, juice bar, park for my dog, great coffee shop, bookstore and my daily chocolate!

Chocolate is a such a comfort, right?! (check out science at end of this post on why it keeps us calm and happy)

Good thing I found a way to get my chocolate fix without getting chocolate wasted and packing on a muffin top!
