This looks so yummy!!! I bet the avocado makes it much richer and thicker! What do you use it for-as a sauce or do you dip stuff in it (i.e. pancakes above) or do you eat it straight up?
Hannah, I eat it straight or as a dip for pancakes, and yes the avocado definitely ups the creamy factor. Love it!
I’m not a huge fan of avocado, but I do love kabocha squash and this recipe has sparked my interest!!
Do you think that this would turn out well if you swapped the avocado for kabocha?? And how much do you think that you would need of the kabocha??
thanks!!!!
Natnat, I’ve made a creamy and delicious kabocha soup with just cooked kabocha, water, and stevia. So, all you would need to do is add chocolate and swap the water with almond milk. I’m sure it would taste great! http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2010/01/07/feeding-the-cold/
I’ve also made pureed chocolate kabocha. I think you would love it: http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2010/02/06/looks-can-be-deceiving/
gah, thank you so much!!!!
I’m so excited to try these out!!!
:]
This post has changed my life! Ahh I love this! =)
Lisa,
Yep, this is a good one, and I’m sure I’ll be making it often as soon as the weather cools off a bit. Happy to hear you’re enjoying it.
Why did I not read this inspiration earlier? This amazing concoction of yours has my name all over it– mmmmm, have you tried pumpkin, avocado and banana? Maybe add some coconut into the mix? I must try!
Love you miss HEAB
Namaste,
Not sure, but you will love how creamy this gets in the Vita-Mix. So good and perfect for a cool fall/winter day. Have not tried pumpkin, avocado, and banana, but I think I need to and DEFINITELY with coconut!
Hope you have a good Friday/weekend & much love to you as well.
Wow – I definitely will be making this!
This sounds absolutely delicious!! I love avocado, but my sister is allergic to them. Is there something else that would be a good swap?
Ashley,
Yes, a banana or the meat from a young coconut.
This looks like pudding! I could do that
Is it about one serving?
Yes, I think it would be good as a dip. Or with a Kermit muffin stirred in!…on top of ice cream…oops – went too far
this sounds great! i don’t have much experience with avocados – if i made a larger batch of this would it keep in the fridge? if so how long? thanks!!
Heather,
I don’t think this would keep very long. I would not make any more than what you couldn’t eat in a day.
Heather~ I am going to try this w/banana instead of avocado as you suggested. Could you substitute Almond Milk for the Rice Milk you think?
Laurie,
Yes, I usually use almond milk or coconut milk. Any milk will do. Enjoy.
i went out and bought avocados so i could sorta follow along with avocado week. i am excited to try this for breakfast tomorrow. haha, yay.
S,
Enjoy.
made this this morning w/ pancakes. perfect! thanks!
I’ve been making avocado pudding and I’m addicted – and I DON’T like avocado! I use avocado, banana, cocoa powder, stevia and whatever non-dairy milk I have on hand (last time I used hemp). I will have to try it this way. Mmmm…..
Love all your new experiments!!! Wish I could eat them all..Keep them coming!!!
I bet summer is going to have a life filled with yummy Nom Nom’s

Oh man!! This looks SO SO YUMMY!! I can’t wait to try it; I’ve had the “mousse” version with avocado before but the words hot chocolate soup sound incredibly appealing to me:) I tried to comment on your recent chocolate chip cookie dough hummus recipe post, but it told me the comments were closed:( Well I wanted to tell you I made almost the same thing a weekish ago, and the recipe’s on my blog as well:) XOXOXO
