Salted Avocado Fudge
Line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper, leaving some hanging for the sides so that when it’s done, you can easily pull it out of the pan to cut. Set aside.
Into a medium saucepan over medium heat add 3 cups of chocolate chips. You can use dark chips, or semi-sweet. If you’re vegan, make sure to use vegan chips. Add 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar or coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon of kosher or sea salt. Stir frequently until all is melted. Set Aside.
Into the bowl of your food processor or blender, add your 4 medium size ripe, pitted avocados, that’s about 3 cups of avocado.
Blend until completely smooth.
Next, add the chocolate sauce and again blend until smooth.
Pour into the prepared pan, sprinkle the top with about 1-2 teaspoons of very coarse salt. Cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator to firm up (4-6 hours).
To serve, remove from the refrigerator. Cut into 2 inch squares to serve.
Enjoy!
