Avocado Fudge image

Now this is different. I got the original recipe from About.com. The original recipe calls for 3 cups of powdered sugar which is a lot, so I have changed some of the ingredients to suit my tastes. I dropped the amount down to two cups of sugar instead. It should still work. Also since I live at 5,000 feet less sugar is better. These brownies are rich and dairy-free. You can also substitute 1/2 cup apple sauce for the margarine if you want this to be lower in fat. And if you want less carbs, you can also replace the sugars with a sugar substitute.

Time 25m

Yield 12 squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup Earth Balance margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup turbinado sugar
1 cup date sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.
  • Once the margarine is melted, puree the avocado in a food processor or blend until its totally smooth. Make sure no chunks remain.
  • Put the avocado, vanilla and coco into the saucepan. Then add the sugar a little at a time.
  • Once the sugar is all added the mixture should thicken up. Then add the nuts if using.
  • Transfer this to a loaf pan and refrigerate until firm.
  • It has to set up for quite a while other wise you won't be able to cut it into squares.
  • Bon Appetit!
