Vegan Chocolate Pudding with Avocado and Walnuts:

This chocolate avocado pudding/mousse is definitely one of my favorite desserts. It's rich and decadent without being too sweet. It's also much healthier than your run-of-the-mill chocolate dessert, and you can make it in less than 10 minutes.

For another delicious avocado pudding recipe, check out the one that Kari posted this weekend. (I'm highly entertained that we were craving the same things while on opposite sides of the world). She used blackberries and strawberries in hers, which looks amazing.

Ingredients:

1 large avocado (about 1 1/2 cups), sliced

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1/4 cup almond milk 

2 tbsp. cocoa powder

2 tbsp. Hershey's Chocolate Syrup*

1 tsp. agave nectar 

A few pinches of nutmeg

Instructions:

1. Blend the avocado, almond milk, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, and agave in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add in the agave nectar and a few pinches of nutmeg, and continue blending for another 15 to 30 seconds.

2. Garnish with another pinch of nutmeg, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and walnuts.

*Hershey's original chocolate syrup is vegan. If you are going to use another chocolate syrup, make sure it is vegan. Also, if you would rather not use the chocolate syrup, substitute another half a tablespoon of cocoa powder and another teaspoon or two of agave nectar for the syrup.
