This is one of my favorite desserts to make for guests.
It takes no more than five minutes to prepare, is rich in body and flavor, and makes for some surprised looks when you tell your guests the "secret" ingredient (which, believe it or not, is impossible to taste)!
I like to serve this as a dessert dip for fresh strawberries, frozen sliced bananas, and whole wheat graham crackers.
YIELDS: 1.25 cups (ten 2-tablespoon servings)
INGREDIENTS: 1 medium avocado, ripe
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa/cacao powder
1/3 cup sweetener of choice (I prefer to use agave nectar for its subtle flavor)
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
5 Tablespoons water
DIRECTIONS: 1. Combine all ingredients in food processor.
2. Process until mixture is smooth in texture and uniform in color.
3. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
NUTRITION INFORMATION (per serving): 72 calories
1.1 gram saturated fat
2.5 grams fiber
5.5 grams added sugar
Enjoy!
