So I’ve been in the blogging game for about 3 months now. I love sharing my experiences and recipes with people that actually make and enjoy them!
But, I have noticed a few pitfalls of food blogging. First, your kitchen always looks like a bomb went off and clean up stinks. Second, there are some epic fails.
I mean, instead making the safe options you know and love, you try new things hoping to come across or develop a really awesome recipe. But, in charting this new territory, you bomb. A lot.
It’s so frustrating because you want it to turn out, and it seems so promising. And, in that moment of truth, it’s just completely and totally awful.
I’ve seen a crazy amount of things on Pinterest being made from avocados. I’m proud of avocados, really. They’re so versatile and delicious.
But, making chocolatey things out of them made me pause. Chocolate is sacred to me and mixing it with avocado seemed beyond counter intuitive. Well, I decided to give the whole chocolate avocado thing a go and made this pudding and let me tell you: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. You HAVE to try it.

How to Make Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Place the avocados, almond milk, agave nectar, cocoa, peanut butter and sea salt in the food processor.
Process until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides and process again until combined and smooth. Set aside.
Place the heavy whipping cream in an electric standing mixer. Turn the mixer on high and whip the milk until it begins to firm, about 1 minute. Add the agave nectar and vanilla and whip for another 10 seconds until combined through.
Place the avocado pudding on a plate or in a bowl, top with a dollop of homemade whip cream, fresh berries, and cacao nibs!

Love this recipe and want to save it for later? I made this super pin-able image, just for you 😉
Wow I hope your burn heals quickly! I can totally relate with the epic kitchen failures too. Sometimes I am embarrassed to call myself a ‘healthy food blogger’ when I see some of the “creations” that come out of my kitchen. Lucky we can be selective, right?!?! haha
This avo mouse looks delicious though! Totally nailed that one!

Thanks girl!! Omg, I know. My friend asked “so do you eat amazing food all the time now because you’re a food blogger?” More liike some really amazing dishes in between a lot of bombs. haha xo
It’s avocado season in Hawaii! So many avocados and I’m looking for new ways to enjoy them! This recipe hits the mark. So rich, thick, and flavorful. Will make this again for sure, and recommend to others. Note: I subbed almond butter and maple syrup because that it what I had on hand, was amazing. Can’t wait to follow the actual recipe sometime soon.
