BRAZILIAN AVOCADO CREAM PUDDING (VEGAN VERSION)
From "Cooking The Brazilian Way", this is a fast and easy pudding. Feel free to reduce the sugar or sub with Splenda or Sun Crystals. It originally called for milk, I decided to use almond milk. Cook time is chill time.

CHOCOLATE-AVOCADO PUDDING
Leave it to cool-kid mecca Gjusta in Venice, CA, to create a produce-based, low-sugar, vegan-friendly, "good"-fat-filled, crowd-pleasing dessert. That would also be completely acceptable to eat for breakfast.

Steps:
- Scoop avocado flesh into a blender and scrape in vanilla bean seeds; reserve pod for another use. Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, agave nectar, orange juice, and salt and blend to a coarse purée. With motor running, gradually stream in ¾ cup hot (but not boiling) water; blend, adding more orange juice as needed, until smooth and creamy.
- Divide pudding among eight 4-6 oz. ramekins or small bowls and chill (uncovered) at least 2 hours.
- Just before serving, whip cream in a medium bowl to soft peaks and spoon over pudding, if desired; top with cocoa nibs and/or hazelnuts.
- Do Ahead:
- Pudding can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
BRAZILIAN AVOCADO CREAM
Pure ambrosia. Tinted a beautiful, pale-green, this South American dessert is irresistible on a hot summer's day. And since avocado is a fruit, and not a vegetable, it makes perfect sense to use it in this way. Enjoy! Cooking time refers to the time it takes to chill.

Steps:
- Peel, pit and roughly chop the avocado.
- An easy way to remove the pit: after halving the avocado, with a flick of the wrist, plunge a knife into the pit, then give a slight twist and remove.
- Voila!
- Place avocado flesh into a blender with the lemon or lime juice, and puree until smooth.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl, and with an electric mixer, gradually blend in the sugar-- slowly, slowly does it.
- Then add cream and salt (just a little salt at a time, tasting as you go, to avoid over-salting), and blend further until well mixed.
- Distribute mixture between 6 stemmed glasses and chill at least 4 hours in the fridge.
- (Freeze it if you wish, but it is nicer just chilled).
