Ingredients
Pudding Ingredients
- 2 large, very ripe avocados
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Orange Bowl Ingredients
- 4 medium oranges
Garnish (optional)
- mint leaves
Instructions
Step One: Prep the Orange Bowls
- Cut the tops off of each orange. You can slice them off horizontally, or you can be really fancy and cut them out in a zigzag pattern.
- Scoop out the contents of each orange (being careful not to poke any holes in them) and transfer them to a bowl.
- Squeeze out as much juice as you can from the orange contents and set aside for later.
- Rinse off the surfaces of each orange bowl and pat dry with a paper towel or cloth.
Step Two: Prep the Chocolate-Orange Pudding
- Place the pudding ingredients into a Magic Bullet or other blender.
- Add about ¼ cup of the freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Blend the ingredients together. The pudding will thicken up very quickly.
- Add more orange juice to thin out the pudding as needed.
Step Three: Serve and Enjoy!
- Spoon the chocolate-orange pudding into each orange bowl. Put each bowl onto a small plate and garnish with fresh mint leaves as desired.
- If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator.
