Sounds pretty gross I know. Well it's not! I crave this all the time now and can't go back to regular pudding. This is from the Deceptively Delicious cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. I used this book as my primary resource when I was making baby food for my little guy (I just feed him the purees), and I use it even more now to sneak more veggies into his diet. All of the recipes are really yummy with some type of vegetable or fruit puree in it. They are also lower in fat and made with whole grains.
Chocolate Pudding
1/4 Cup trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread
1 Cup avocado puree (just mashed up avocado)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cornstarch (I have never used this)
In med. saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Stir in avocado puree, sugar, coca, and vanilla. Cook mashing well with a silicone spatulas to smooth out any avocado lumps, until the mixture thickens 3-4 min. remove from heat and gradually add cornstarch, serve warm.
Avocado Benefits: only veggie packed with monounsaturated fat, which helps lower cholesterol levels. Good source of fiber which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Contains a bunch of vitamin E, which helps with healing.
