A friend of mine gave me this recipe, I haven't tried it for my son yet, but any of you who want to try it here it is::
1 Avocado
Cocoa Powder
Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar
Put it in a blender or food processor, and put in however much cocoa and syrup you like. I hear in the end it's like a chocolate mousse. Can't wait to try it!
-
will wait for your review as i would love to get some avocado in them - wonder if that is from deceptively delicious - i know there is a choc pudding recipe in there
-
Oooo, I fancy trying that! Will let you know if I do.
-
Actually my friends happened to buy some at the grocery store, thinking it was chocolate mousse. They were like, "Oh this is so good, I wonder what's in it." Looked on the ingredients and that was in it. Now they just make it themselves all the time. I'm getting an Avocado today to give it a whirl.
-
Sounds good ... so am waiting to hear your responses before I give it a shot! *drooling at the thought of guilt-free choc!* Well I say guilt free, but I think it's just the avocado that makes it sound healthy!! ;D
-
:) Oh.. this is great Melanie. Thanks SO MUCH
Tyler needs the extra fats and can't have sugar, so this is perfect.
Alright, who ever tries it first, please post... I am headed to the store tonight or tom. to buy avocodoes!
-
Hehe, I'm getting my groceries in a couple of hours, once my son wakes. I'm a little apprehensive though, because I usually don't like Avocados.
-
can he have this?
-
Haven't tried him yet, but I want to make it for myself! lol I haven't tried him on cocoa, syrup, or avocados. But I want to see if it tastes good, if it does then I hope to try it with him after I introduced these foods individually.
-
Poor boy has never had any sweets yet! Wouldn't touch his cake for his first birthday. I'm curious to see what he thinks of something sweet.
-
Hey hold him off on something sweet as long as you can, once they get used to sweet, they never look back, LOL
-
Hehe, so true. All my daughter wants to eat is chocolate!
-
Marking....this looks yummy!!!! I would've bought an avocado this morning at the grocery had I seen this earlier! :)
-
I don't want to sound negative but we were told that quite a lot of people with multiple food allergies are allergic to avocados. We did actually try it with James before we were told this and his lips went puffyy and face blotchy after just sucking a piece twice. I would just take it very slowlly if trying it.

Eeek! Thanks for the warning.
-
Oooh that does sound good. Can't wait to hear what it's like! :-*
-
Have i been the only brave one to try this?
I made it today. I took a little bit and YUCK... I added a little more agave nectar and cocoa and it was a little sweeter tasting. Tyler took a bit and just looked at me. He took another bit and spit it out...
Not a hit with us. It looked really yummy though..
-
I bought an avocado at the grocery store. The sign said "Ripe Green Avocados," but I don't know where they kept the ripe ones. :P We're still givign it another day or two to soften up and then try it.
I bet it LOOKS dreadful, though.....green avocado and dark brown cocoa powder? Probably best eaten in the dark! ;D
-
Oh no, it looks yummy, just like chocolate mouse. It just did not taste good.
-
ROFL!! Ahh dear. I have the Avocado, but haven't had a chance to make it yet! I sear I will at least try it.
-
I'm still wimping out til you have all made and tried it! ;D ;D ;D
"Come on ... hurry up and ripen avocados!!!"
-
Might Maple syrup taste better?
-
I would've tried it, but spent the better part of last night in the hospital with my daughter, who is almost 3. She sliced her head opened, had to get 4 stitches, and she had to be put under to get the stitches. So sad to see her all drugged up like that. Anyway, perhaps tomorrow!
-
Owie! Sounds sore. Hope you feel better soon!
-
We were low on cocoa powder but made up the deficit with sugar-free Hershey's chocolate syrup we had in the fridge. We sweetened with xylitol.
OMG!!!!!!! It was SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Next time we're getting THREE avocados!!!!! (And more cocoa powder... ::))
-
Yay! I'm glad you liked it!!
