Rich in plant-based omega-3 fats and antioxidants, this nutrient-dense dessert is inspired by "xocoatl", a decadent ancient Aztec drink brimming with chocolate and spices.
Ingredients
-
2 ripe avocados
-
4 ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
-
4 tbsp honey or maple syrup

2 pinches chili powder

⅛ tsp ground cardamom

¼ tsp ground cinnamon
-
1-3 tbsp milk or milk substitute
-
Raspberries or strawberries for garnish
Method

In a blender, combine the avocado flesh, cocoa powder, honey/maple syrup and spices until well blended (about one minute).
-
Add milk if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
-
Taste and add a touch more honey or spice, if desired (at this point, you will still taste the avocado, but it will disappear once chilled).
