Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Here's something pretty unique that I tried this past weekend:
http://www.yummyvegetariandelights.c...-avocados.html

I recommend reading the comments for the recipe. Some noted that their pudding tasted like avocado--mine did too! (Luckily, I actually like avocado, so it wasn't that big a problem. )

I think I had two issues 1) my avocado wasn't quite ripe enough, and 2) I should have blended even more than I did. I would, however, recommend adding more chocolate. I also found the end result a bit too thick, and so another thing I did that I thought was helpful was to dissolve instant espresso powder (you could also use instant coffee) in water and add that, which enhanced the chocolate flavor as well.

Enjoy!

I've made that before and it is surprisingly good. Comes in handy when avocados are on sale and they all ripen at once! Unfortunately I found another recipe that I like even more because it's made with avocados, lime juice, heavy cream and condensed milk.

The versions of this recipe that I've seen usually have more cacao and sweetener in, which I think would reduce the avocado flavor.
