Velvety Chocolate Avocado Pudding

1/4 c coconut oil (I use Nutiva)

1 c pureed avocado (2-3 avocados)

1 c confectioners sugar

1/2 c cf cocoa powder (I use Chatfield's)

1 t vanilla extract

Mash avocados with a fork, then blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Stir in the avocado, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla.

This is super thick and creamy. The flavor is reminiscent of chocolate covered bananas, probably because of the potassium in the avocado. When cooled, it almost has the consistency of fudge. This recipe would probably also work as a frosting.

To make corn-free confectioners sugar, blend granulated sugar in a food processor or blender until it turns into a fine powder.

Quick and Healthy frosting substitute

Equal parts nut butter and raw spun honey. That's it! This tastes delicious on carrot cake. The only gfcf cream cheese substitutions I have found not only contain soy, but also partially hydrogenated oils. Yuck! No cream cheese frosting for us. This is a really yummy apple dip! It tastes like caramel.
Note: Never give honey to infants under one year of age.
