Chocolate & Avocado Pudding
Chocolate & Avocado Pudding
This unconventional, guilt-free dessert has all my favorite ingredients, and although they don't normally go together they actually taste great together – avocado, chocolate, and orange! It’s an easy recipe to make and has become one of our house favorites, now in direct competition with my Vegan Chocolate Mousse.
