KICK-START AVOCADO CHOCOLATE PARFAITS

RECIPE TYPE

Vegetarian

SERVES

4

Prep Time: 10 min

Ingredients

2 very ripe avocados

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup Longo’s Pure Maple Syrup (approx.)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch salt

2 tbsp water (or as needed)

1 pkg (300g) Longo's Fresh Cut Fruit such as berry bowls, sliced kiwi or mango slices, divided

1 cup Longo’s Maple Almond Granola or Coconut Hemp Granola, divided

Directions

Halve and pit avocados; scoop flesh into a mini food processor or blender. Add cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend, adding water as needed, until mixture forms a smooth pudding consistency. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup to taste.

Layer pudding with fruit and granola between 4 serving bowls, glasses or jars. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.

(Make-ahead: Parfaits can be made ahead and reserved separately in the refrigerator overnight.)

A Dash of Advice

Use very ripe avocados, as less ripe ones impart more of a “grassy” flavour to the pudding, which then needs more maple syrup to compensate.Adult eaters can add a pinch of espresso powder to the pudding to enhance the dark chocolate flavour.
