Dark chocolate avocado pudding (vegan, GF)

June 19, 2015 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

How does Dark chocolate avocado pudding sound to you? 😀

Avocado is one of those food that you can learn to like even if you are not a big fan. It’s kind of what happened to me. Basically if you eat it plain, it can be a bit boring (at least to me!) but if you start to add things like a bit of sea salt and extra virgin olive oil or lemon, or if you mash it, season with sea salt and lemon, maybe add some fresh tomatoes and than eat it on toast, or combine it with some other ingredients like broccoli or lentils and than eat as a salad… possibilities are endless! This is actually making me hungry now and I believe I still have one left in the fridge so I think I know what will be my lunch today! 🙂

You can also use avocados in desserts (puddings, creams, brownies, cakes..) and it just makes them nice and creamy and because of its neutral flavor, you can’t actually taste you are eating avocado in your dessert! It’s a good way to include some of those healthy fats (monounsaturated fat, which is a “good” fat that helps lower bad cholesterol, as long as you eat them in moderation) in your treats and maybe to try something new and interesting. Avocados are also a good source of B vitamins, which help you fight off disease and infection and are very high in potassium, which should support healthy blood pressure levels. They also give you vitamins C and E and are low in sugar. If you want to read more about health benefits of eating avocados and find out more interesting information, check out this great article here!
I tried quite a few recipes for chocolate avocado pudding or mousse but than I came up with this recipe that gives creaminess and sweetness just how I like it. I hope you’ll try it out and let me know what you think!

It’s great because it gives you a quick and simple, very chocolaty dessert and at the same time it’s gluten-free and vegan for those who eat that way and overall just good for you!
This recipe serves 2 and you’ll need just 1 avocado, 2 bananas and few other simple ingredients. Make sure that both avocado and bananas are ripe as otherwise you won’t get the right creamy texture.

Author: Lili Basic
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 8 dates (or 5 medjool dates), soaked 10 min in hot water
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened raw cacao powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp coconut or almond milk
Preparation
  1. Soak the dates for 10-15 minutes in hot water so they get softer. If you are using medjool dates, they should be soft enough. Peel and cut avocado and bananas in smaller pieces and combine with all other ingredients in your food processor or blender. Blend until it's all combined and creamy.
  2. Don't worry if your processor is not strong enough to completely blend the dates as they are like little pieces of caramel candy and I actually prefer to leave some little pieces in the pudding.
  3. Spoon into glasses and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Serve with strawberries or raspberries and enjoy!

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
