Next up in my hopping around Deceptively Delicious<\/a>\"\" is Chocolate Pudding – of course it’s not just any chocolate pudding, it’s got avocado in it! With a smack of Cool Whip on top, all three kids *and* my husband ate it and loved it.<\/p>\n

Making the puree is beyond simple. Really. Just cut the avocado in half, scoop out the flesh and mash it with a fork before pureeing it in the blender or food processor. So why avocado? Brimming with monounsaturated fats, serious soluble fiber and vitamin E – hello good cholesterol, stable blood sugar and shiny hair! Ok, so vitamin E does more than shiny hair, but it’s a bonus! So now that you have your puree…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chocolate Pudding (with avocado)<\/b> from Deceptively Delicious<\/a>\"\" (p. 159)<\/p>\n\n\n
\n1\/4 cup Becel
\n1 cup avocado puree
\n1 cup icing sugar<\/td>\n		\n1\/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
\n1 tsp vanilla
\n1\/4 cup cornstarch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Pull out your favorite mid-sized saucepan and melt the Becel. Then add in the avocado puree, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mix it while it cooks and mush up any lingering avocado chunks you may have, for about 3 minutes. Once it’s thickened, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cornstarch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think the entire operation took me 15 minutes start to finish – and that includes making the puree. Painfully simple. If you’re giving this to someone really super picky, I’d mix a little Cool Whip right in the pot. Here, I served it with the Cool Whip on top, which is how I normally serve the fam pudding so that wasn’t suspect. I only had a lick, but I didn’t notice anything but chocolate! This one goes into the ‘will make again’ box!<\/p>\n
