Avocado Pudding


This is rich, satisfying and extremely healthy dessert.

Created with fresh foods that are relatively easy to find in any local supermarket, full of healthy fats, sweetened naturally with raw honey or agave syrup and packed with antioxidants from the cocoa powder.

I used RAW cocoa powder in this recipe but regular organic cocoa powder would also work.
