Chocolate Avocado Pudding

I made this dessert the other night and will definitely be making it again.  It was made with an avocado, so it was very creamy and satisfying.  When I took my first bite the avocado really stood out, but as I continued to eat it I really loved the taste.  In fact, I could have eaten another one.  Here's the recipe I followed, but there are so many different ways to include an avocado into chocolate pudding so play around with the recipe and see what you like.

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons almond milk (I had chocolate flavored in the fridge so I used that)

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth.  Refrigerate until ready to serve. (This made 2 servings.)

Update: I made this pudding again only this time I made Dark Chocolate Avocado Pudding.  I used 4 tablespoons of dark cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of original almond milk.  Wow! I love the dark chocolate and it was super dark!

This recipe yields 2 servings.
