Ingredients:
-1 large, ripe avocado
-3 cups powdered sugar
-1 1/4 cups cocoa
-1/2 cup of vegan butter substitute
-1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
-Chopped nuts optional
Melt the vegan butter over a low heat and allow it to stay warm. Skin and remove the pit from the avocado, and whip it until it’s entirely smooth (either with a food processor, or failing that, egg beater). Add the cocoa, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then pour the warm vegan butter on top and stir vigorously by hand for about five minutes or until it reaches a thick, smooth consistency with no bits of sugar or avocado left unmixed. Mix in nuts if you so desire. Can be refrigerated or put in the freezer, then enjoyed at your leisure. This is an extremely quick dessert recipe that produces a very extravagantly rich and sweet result. And the fact that the main thickening agent is avocado makes it endearingly peculiar.
