Smooth, creamy and chocolatey.
This is the kind of dessert that makes you feel good as you’re eating it. It also happens to be dairy-free, gluten-free and isn’t chalk full of refined sugar. Now let me warn you, if you’re expecting this to taste like our traditional Jell-O brand chocolate puddings, you need to know it doesn’t. This take on a chocolate mousse plays on the flavor and texture of the avocado–creating a dessert that is smooth and creamy. But heck, who care about all that when it has chocolate in it!
Don’t be alarmed by the addition of soy sauce as an ingredient. It helps to mask the taste of the avocado and enhances the flavor of the cocoa powder. I prommmise.
Go on, enjoy.

nita your choclate avocado mouse desert looking very tempting
Mmm, I love pudding! I’m excited but certainly belonged to the camp of people who were “alarmed” to find soy sauce in the ingredient list! Just a question, by reduced do you mean sodium reduced or this a special type of soy sauce?
Hey Jessica – yes, *sodium reduced (all fixed up now). I know, it sounds wack – but it really helps to mask the almost “grassy” taste of the avocado (does that make sense?).
