Many people when they think of avocados, they think of avocado-toast, tacos, or some sort of savory dish. But have you ever thought about the super-food with chocolate? Avocados are actually the perfect food to make a healthy sweet dessert with because they are creamy, filling, and delicious.

They are the perfect ingredient to make a healthier dessert option that doesn't lack in flavor. Celebrity chefs, like Giada De Laurentiis, and pro-athletes, like Tom Brady, are all using avocado to make healthier delicious desserts. Brady’s Avocado Ice Cream recipe has been featured on boston.com and is in his new cookbook. While Giada has made her Chocolate Avocado Mousse recipe on talk shows like FABlife and is also featured in some of her cookbooks.

So there’s no arguing that chocolate and avocado make a delicious dessert that is much healthier for you than a traditional dessert. This recipe I have below is Chocolate- Avocado Popsicles, but you can alter this recipe to make a ice cream or mousse. Regardless, just try this absolutely scrumptious recipe and you will not be disappointed.

Recipe

Ingredients:

2 medium Avocado (make sure they are ripe)

3 table-spoons Cocoa Powder

1/4 Cup Bittersweet Dark Chocolate (Ghiradeli is a great option)

1 1/2 cup Almond Milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions:

1) Put the avocados, cocoa-powder, chocolate chips, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt all into a blender. Then blend until smooth.

2) Transfer the mixture into ice popsicles molds and freeze for at least 9 hours (you can buy the popsicle molds at Target/AC Moore)

3) Before removing the popsicles make sure you let them sit for a few minutes!

4) Enjoy whenever you need a sweet snack or dessert!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
