Notes
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Please make sure to use a fully ripe and soft avocado. If you can't, it might taste bitter. If you do end up with an under ripe avocado anyway, add some maple syrup to improve the flavor. Really do your best to use ripe and soft avocado to do justice to this recipe.
Orange Cream
If you don't own a zester, peel the skin with a knife very thin and mince. Try not to get the white part of the skin, as it is bitter, and will make the cream taste bitter.
Chocolate Sauce
You can skip this if you are in a rush.
The number of servings it makes depends on the size of the glass you use. If you use a larger glass, it'll make 2 servings, and in a small glass, it'll make about 3-4 servings.
Keeps for 3 days in the refrigerator.
