Serves 6  

Time: 10 minutes

My husband was working on the set yesterday for a Cooking Channel pilot episode "How to live to 100." Chocolate avocado pudding was one of the recipes featured on the show. I made this recipe for a baby shower and it was the first thing to disappear! Serve it in a red wine glass with sliced strawberries for a healthy, sexy dessert.

Recipe Note: The pudding thickens as it chills. It will keep for two to three days in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1 medium avocado
1/2 cup Silk or So Delicious coconut milk

4-6 tablespoons pure maple syrup (more or less depending how sweet you want it)

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 pinches sea salt

Directions 

Put all ingredients except the unsweetened, desiccated coconut into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. 

Transfer to individual serving dishes and serve immediately.
