Cereal seemed too boring this morning, and I've had too many smoothies of late. So, I looked around the kitchen, and spotted some avocados about to be too ripe. I remembered a recipe out of a raw food cookbook (but not the book, feel free to tell me which one!) for avocado-carob pudding. It was tasty (as long as you like carob). It was also not that for which I was looking. So, if not chocolate-esque, why not vanilla?
Avocado-Vanilla Pudding-esque
1 Ripe Avocado
1 T Agave Nectar or 2 Dates
1/2 t Vanilla Extract or 1/4 t pulp from a vanilla bean if you have it
Pinch Salt (tiny pinch)
Take your avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a food processor. Turn on the food processor, drizzle in the agave nectar and vanilla. The longer you run the food processor, the airier the pudding will be. Sweeten more if necessary, avocados can be a little unpredictable. Also, if your avocado is quite ripe and you're using agave nectar, you can skip the food processor and just whip everything up by hand in a bowl.
I loved it, and when the phone rang, so did the puppies.
