Avo-and-chocolate pâté

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
10 minutes, plus 1 hour's chilling time

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados, peeled and stoned
  • 1⁄4 cup cocoa
  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 3 T maple syrup
  • 1⁄3 cup coconut cream
  • 150 g dark chocolate, melted and cooled

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients, except the melted chocolate, in a food processor and blitz until smooth.
  2. Pour in the melted chocolate and continue blitzing.
  3. Pour into a baking tray and chill for 1 hour.

Cook's note: This combo is having a moment. The avo adds creaminess, while the earthiness of the cocoa emphasises the sweetness of the avocado. Use as an alternative to cake icing or freeze to make a delicious dessert.
