Raw chocolate avocado frosting

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming with a very important message:

Raw chocolate avocado frosting...it may sound like one of the weirdest combos you've  heard, but it's one of the best frostings I've ever had and it's SUPER easy.  (As someone who merely looks at a kitchen appliance and it malfunctions, trust me on this one!)

In a quest to eat healthier but not scrimp on the taste factor, I stumbled upon this simple little frosting recipe and decided to try it on some chocolate cupcakes I made (okay my mother made):

  • 1 perfectly ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup raw organic unsweetened cacao (it's a superfood!)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (get the good stuff)
 Put the ingredients into a food processor and blend. If you like it sweeter, use 1/2 cup maple syrup, if you like it chocolatey-er you can add some semi-sweet choc chips (although I didn't and it was quite chocolatey) and if you're like me and you like a little kick to it add some Kahlua! Finished product has the consistency of a ganache and it's actually good for you.  Enjoy!
