You can NOT even taste the avocados! This is seriously going to be my go to recipe from now on when i get a sweet tooth craving!

Sooooo delicious and fluffy!

Avocados are full of antioxidants, healthy fats, omega fatty acids. "Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit." -www.californiaavocados.com/nutrients

**The chocolate provides healthy antioxidants. The darker the chocolate, the better. Shoot for 70% cocoa or darker when selecting & eating chocolates.

I hope you all enjoy this wonderful treat!

Thank you Giada for your magnificent healthy dessert idea!
