When I want to make a dessert from the ingredients I have at home I love to experiment. I find my inspiration online, but I always add a pinch of me in the recipe 🙂 In this recipe I added maple syrup, almond flakes and coconut shavings!

Tools you need
- Measuring spoons to, you know, measure things with them
- Kitchen scale because baking is a fine art and perfection is a little bit more reachable when you quantify things
- Measuring cups to, as well, measure things with them
- Good food processor will make this dessert creamier and more delicious
- Serving wine glasses are perfect for desserts in a glass, look very professional 😀
- Melting chocolate is a quick and easy job for a microwave
- Microwave bowls because we don’t want to melt the bowl, just the chocolate 😉
I was a bit skeptical about making a dessert with avocados, but it turned out to be very moist and creamy and the taste of chocolate was dominating. Raspberries give it a bit of freshness and almond flakes a bit of crunchiness. The whole deal is a perfect combination. Any berry and nut combination should be good.
Zvonimir really liked it the first time, so I decided to make it again for our friends when they came to dinner.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did 😀
