It’s no secret that avocados are a staple in every meal. They’re chock-full of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, and they have a way of upping the ante on some of our dishes (avocado toast, anyone?). But other than pairing it with gluten-free ciabatta or huevos rancheros, avocado is also sneaking its way into desserts.
Ice cream, muffins, truffles…here are some of our favorite ways to add mother nature’s butter into our desserts.
Triple Chocolate Avocado Muffins
Lighten up your favorite dessert recipes by subbing the butter with mashed avocado. This muffin is a waist-friendly breakfast option that you can bake in batches and quickly grab for an on-the-go treat.
Avocado Chocolate Mousse
If you’re a little hesitant to incorporate avocado into your desserts, ease yourself into the idea by pairing it with chocolate. The avocado adds an extra touch of creaminess without sacrificing any of the flavor.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Avocado Pudding
This tried and true combo of peanut butter and chocolate gets a healthy twist. Naturally sweetened with dates and blended ’til smooth with avocado, it’s the perfect treat for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Avocado Truffle Chocolates
These are incredibly easy to make and can be stored in the fridge for when you need a sweet pick-me-up. Standing at less than 100 calories a piece, you won’t even know that there’s avocado in there.
Coconut Milk and Avocado Ice Cream
This creamy frozen treat can’t be beat — make it extra special by serving it in coconuts.
