I just had to share an amazing new recipe that I came across, one that features the unusual combination of avocados and chocolate!
The recipe is for an Avocado Chocolate Pudding, created by nutritionist Michelle Babb, of Eat, Play, Be – a Mind-Body nutrition practice located in Seattle.
I made this luscious chocolate pudding earlier today, and I can tell you that the taste is incredible – creamy, chocolaty and velvety-rich, just like you’d expect chocolate pudding to be.
Yes, the ingredients are unconventional.
But that’s what I love about it! Plus, it is sugar-free, relying instead on a sugar substitute such as agave nectar or maple syrup.
I, for one, am trying to cut back on my sugar consumption this holiday season. I’m challenging myself to bake less, and stick with a few favorite recipes that can easily be converted to a gluten-free treat that is also low in sugar.
Of course, you can certainly create a perfectly lovely gluten-free pudding using traditional dairy or cream, and refined sugar.
I’m just saying there are alternatives.
If you’re looking for something a little different to tickle your taste buds, I think this tasty treat will likely satisfy your cravings.
Next week, I promise to share some of my own favorite holiday recipes. Meantime, I’ve been invited to two holiday parties this week alone!
