Avocado Fudge Bites
Today I have a lil sweet treat recipe for you that’s on the healthier side. The recipe I adapted this from calls it a mousse. When I think of a mousse, I think light, fluffy, and airy. While this is uh-MAZingly, blissfully, delicious, I would not call it fluffy. To me, it is more like fudge. Thick, creamy, rich, chocolatey, coconutty, buttery fudge. I kept it for a few days in the fridge,and that’s about how long I’d leave this. Its so good, it won’t last anyway.It’s incredibly rich, so even though you’re going to want to eat a giant portion of it, I wouldn’t recommend it.Its a dessert made with avocado…it seems weird, I know. But you don’t taste the avocado at all! I swear! It just gives the fudge a decadent, smooth, creaminess that is to die for. Its full of good stuff, nuts and flavour and it's the perfect healthy snack for the fridge or freezer.Satisfy your sweet tooth the healthy way with these delectable avocado fudge bites coated in chocolate. Rather than the pure sugary rush of conventional fudge, this one has real substance with style. Don’t forget, these are all good fats, so you can pretty much write this one off as health food. It really is more satisfying than your average treat!These creamy avocado fudge bites are like little balls of happiness and will melt in your mouth, leaving behind only a lingering, subtle sweetness. And…they are loaded with health benefits:They are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6. Eating healthy fats supports skin health, enhances the absorption off at-soluble vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and help boosts the immune system.Easy to make, just 4 ingredients for the fudge balls then you coat them in chocolate for more indulgence. What’s not to love?
