I bet when you think about chocolate pudding, you don’t
think avocados, bananas, or dates. WHAT?! Yup, but I gave the recipe a try and
it was fantastic! It was super simple and if you have the ingredients on hand
and are having a chocolate craving, it’s a perfect go to recipe to solve that
problem. In my case, I had a few avocados and bananas that were about to go
bad, so I needed a way to get rid of them without throwing them away.
So, without further ado, here’s the original recipe:
Ingredients:
2 avocados
1 banana
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup dates (pitted, soaked in water for a few hours,
drained)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor until
smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a bowl or
individual serving bowls and chill several hours before serving.
As I was cutting my avocados, I realized that one of
them had gone bad already. Total Wasteful Wanda. With one avocado down, I had
to cut the rest of the ingredients to half-sies. With the exception of cutting
everything to half and not soaking the dates for a few hours, (I soaked them
for 30 minutes, I’m really impatient) I stuck to the recipe. My only critique
is that if you don’t like a strong taste of banana, add a ¼ banana at a time
and keep tasting. My ½ banana turned out well, but I can see how it would be a
little strong for some people. Be
prepared for an awesome mess in your blender, mine is currently soaking
indefinitely. Also, it’s much better chilled, so try to be patient and let it
chill for an hour or so.
