I remember the first time I heard about putting avocado in chocolate. Honestly, I wrinkled my nose. Avocado? In my dessert? Sounded kinda…wrong. But, a friend, always the adventurous foodie, swore it was life-changing. Turns out, she was right! This avocado chocolate creation is surprisingly decadent, unbelievably smooth, and secretly healthy-ish. It's one of those things you just have to try to believe. It’s become my go-to dessert when I want something that feels indulgent but isn’t loaded with guilt.
This recipe takes two seemingly contrasting ingredients—creamy avocados and rich dark chocolate—and blends them into a harmonious, delightful dessert. The avocado provides a velvety texture and a subtle earthiness that enhances the chocolate's flavor, all while adding healthy fats and nutrients. What does this mean for you? It means you can enjoy a luscious treat without the usual sugar crash or feelings of regret. Trust me; even the staunchest avocado skeptics will be converted. The magic lies in the balance of flavors and the perfect execution of the technique.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prep the Avocado: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Make sure you’re using ripe avocados; they should yield to gentle pressure.
- Blend the Avocado: Add the sugar and melted butter to the blender with the avocado. Blend until completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated. There should be no lumps!
- Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water), melt the chopped chocolate. Stir frequently until completely smooth and glossy. Don’t let any water get into the chocolate, or it will seize.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the avocado mixture. Add the vanilla extract. Blend again until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. It should look luscious and decadent!
- Chill (optional): For a firmer dessert, transfer the mixture to a bowl or individual serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is optional, but it enhances the texture.
- Serve: Spoon the avocado chocolate creation into serving dishes. If chilled, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a few fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream (or coconut cream).
- Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a higher percentage of cacao chocolate.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness and chocolate flavor.
