Pudding a la Cacao
Raw, Organic, and very rich

This is an amazing recipe for a pudding that tastes like the finest truffle chocolate. It is very rich, so even an 1/8 or 1/4 cup serving is enough for many people. It also uses no dairy, no sugar, is not cooked and takes only a few minutes to make. And though it contains avocado, you wouldn't know it from the taste. The protein is good balance to the agave sweetener which already has a lower glycemic index than sugar.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup of agave (that's what i would use, as i don't like it very sweet) but you can adjust up or down depending, just by tasting while you make it. (purchase raw agave surup) An alternative would be use vanilla stevia instead of agave… add to suit your taste.
1/2 cup raw organic cacao powder (purchase raw cacao powder, don't use coco powder or anything cooked)
2 medium/large ripe avocados

Process:
You can use a blender or food processor.
Suggestion is to mix/blend the first three items a bit first, then while blending, add pieces of avocado and fold in as necessary. It gets rather sticky, but with patience can get it to a nice pudding consistency. It only takes a few minutes and you can chill in refrigerator.

Other choices:
Though it's perfect just as it is, here are some options you can consider:
• use a fruit garnish
• use vanilla stevia instead of agave
• leave some chunks of avocado for texture and interest
• could add cacao nibs for crunch
• could add coconut
• could add almond butter
