The avocado serves as the perfect consistency to make this taste like true pudding. And no, it doesn’t taste like straight avocado! Avocados are packed with fiber and healthy unsaturated fats, healthy for our hearts and brain. Top with walnuts, extra cinnamon, and extra cacao powder and it’ll taste like true, creamy decadence!
