We were making dessert for some vegan friends as part of their post-birth Mealtrain, and decided to make a chocolate avocado mousse or pudding.
At first we found this recipe: https://minimalistbaker.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-avocado-pudding/
But, after checking more carefully, we noticed that our friends requested 'no peanuts'.
So, we pivoted to this one: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chocolate-avocado-mousse-recipe-2110024
We used 5 avocados, b/c their we small, light maple syrup instead of agave, and added a bit of ripe banana that we already had for the first recipe. We used 3/4 cup chocolate chips, and J still felt like it could have used more chocolate flavor. N observed that it could benefit from a hint of cinnamon.
