Calories: 94kcal
Ingredients
- 2 avocados ripe
- 1 banana ripe
- ¼ cup agave syrup or maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 lemon freshly squeezed
- pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Peel the ripe banana and add it to the blender with the avocados.
- Add the agave syrup, melted coconut oil, water, pinch of salt and lemon juice to the blender.
- Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and blend again until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Line a small dish or container with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
- Place the fudge in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s firm enough to cut into squares.
- Once set, remove from the container, cut into squares, and enjoy your delicious avocado fudge!
- Quick tip: If you want to use chocolate instead of cocoa powder, just melt about 1 ounce of chocolate for every tablespoon of cocoa powder called for in the recipe. You might need to reduce other liquid ingredients slightly since melted chocolate adds moisture.

Notes
- The nutrition information provided is an estimate. It will vary based on the specific ingredients used.
- Avocados – it is best to use ripe avocado as it will allow for the best mixing without leaving any lumps.
- Agave syrup – or you can use maple syrup or honey (adjust according to your desired sweetness) or coconut sugar and modify per your taste.
- Coconut oil – you can quickly melt the oil in the microwave or stove for better mixing.
- Lemon – I would recommend using the real lemon and skip the bottled version
- Sea salt or kosher salt
- Unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate chips – dark chocolate chips are best for most health benefits, but you can also use milk chocolate or vegan chocolate chips.
- Optional toppings (not included in nutritional information): chopped nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts), shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips
