Avocado Chocolate Pudding

Sweet Tooth

I have a major sweet tooth! That is one thing I could never give up, is desserts and candies. 

I love finding ways to make eating desserts healthy, it's like a challenge. 

Chocolate is probably my most favorite, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. It's the best! 

So when I found this recipe for Chocolate Avocado Pudding I had to give it a try, with only 5 ingredients it's simple to make. 

I was a little skeptical since it's all avocado, I thought it was going to taste funny. But how wrong I was! It taste just like chocolate pudding.

Work up the nerve and take a big spoonful because your taste buds are going to be shocked!

Ingredients

- 2 ripe avocados

- 1/3 Cup Cocoa powder (I use special dark)

- 1/2 Cup Milk ( I use Almond Milk)

-1/4 Cup Honey (or sweetener of choice could use Agave) 

-1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

- Peel and chop the avocado and put into a food processor, blender, or use a hand held mixer.

Eat immediately or chill first.

I like mine cold!

That's it, so delicious and you can stay on track.

I've already been thinking of ways to use it, like dipping graham crackers in it, mixing it in my oatmeal, dipping a banana in it, so many options. 

Try it, and tell me what you think.

Funfetti Oreo Birthday Cake

This cake is simply amazing! From the Birthday Cake Oreos to the Cheesecake Frosting and it takes no time to whip up. The hardest part is waiting for the cakes to cool before you frost them. A tip for cooling cakes after they come out of the oven leave them in the pans for 5 minutes then wrap two layers of plastic wrap around them and put in the fridge for an hour, then you're ready to frost.

Okay let's get baking!!

CAKE INGREDIENTS

FROSTING INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two cake pans either with baking spray or layer bottom with parchment paper and butter sides.
2. Prepare the cake mix, you can follow the box instructions or do it my way which makes a very moist cake. Instead of oil use butter, instead of water use milk and add 2 extra eggs to the mix. Leave batter in the bowl.
3. Crush 6 Oreos and fold into cake batter.
4. Divide batter between two cake pans.
5. Bake for 34-38 min. Until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Let cool before frosting!!!

FROSTING DIRECTIONS
1. Put 1 Cup powdered sugar in bowl, put 1/2 the tub Cheesecake filling then put the other cup powdered sugar and then the rest of the cheesecake filling.
2. Add the vanilla.
3. Mix until smooth.
4. Put 1/3 of the batter in a separate bowl for the cake filling. Crush 7 Oreos and add to the 1/3 batter.
5. Spread the 1/3 batter over one cake and place the other cake on top.
6. Use remaining frosting to cover the cake. Decorate with sprinkles and remaining Oreos.

I was afraid this cake wouldn't be very good by my Co-workers ate it up. It smells amazing and it's so colorful and fun.
