Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Wash and halve avocados.  Remove pit and scoop fruit out of skin and chop.  Place in food processor or blender.

Add 1/2 teaspoon orange, lemon or lime zest and 1 tablespoon of the juice to the pudding.

Add 1 tablespoon almond milk for a thinner consistency.

Add pitted dates or figs for sweetness in place of added sweetener.

Garnish with flaked coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit or fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings.
