You might already think this is a crazy blog post before reading it. But hear me out. Avocado desserts are delicious. Yes, really! Avocados create creamy, healthier desserts and you wouldn’t even know they are in there. In fact, all of these recipes I am about to share were given to groups of unsuspecting people (male and female) and no one noticed. No one even realized they were “healthier”, let alone had avocado in them. These treats do still have sugar in them, so it’s important to continue to be mindful of portions.
My favorite option I’ve tried so far are these dark chocolate avocado fudge popsicles. Perfect for a warm night, the whole family loved them. They are quick and easy, and I used dark cocoa powder to bring more of a dark chocolate taste. No popsicle holders? A small paper cup and a popsicle stick work great too.
Another sneaky avocado dessert is this dark chocolate avocado mousse. Very similar to the popsicles… only it’s not frozen. My mousse is not nearly as pretty as their picture, but I included it below anyways. I shared this with my husband before telling him what was inside– and he loved it. Both this mousse and the popsicle batter are also great with added strawberries or mixed into plain Greek yogurt. Also pictured are dark chocolate avocado cookies. Although they didn’t look like regular cookies because of their funny shape, they taste just as fudgey- and still fooled the crowd.
Hiding vegetables in dishes is one of my favorite past times (right after enjoying them as they are). I add pureed spinach into anything I can, black beans into my brownies, and pumpkin into my baked goods. Do you have a sneaky vegetable dessert, or any recipe, I can try?
