...Yes, folks, I went there with avocados as I said I would...plus, its gluten free!
Not diabetic friendly, so I apologize to
in advance!
This is from: http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/fud.....udge-frosting/
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped + divided
2 ripe avocados, pitted + skins removed
3/4 cup coconut sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee (optional) - I used 1 packet instant on my end
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs - You can do this eggless with a chia replacement, or 1 to 1 1/2 cup ripe bananas, which are also a very good 'binder' in their own right!
1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder (used cocoa powder)
1/2 cup almond meal/flour (used 1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
roasted, chopped almond, for topping (optional) - didnt use here, but dont let that stop you
Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
1/3 cup real maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup cacao or cocoa powder (used cocoa)
1/3 cup flaked coconut (there was already coconut oil and sugar in this, so might as well go all the way)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
Melt 2 ounces dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until melted and smooth. Add the avocado, coconut sugar, instant coffee and vanilla to a food processor and puree until completely smooth and no clumps of avocado remain. It helps to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Pour in the melted chocolate and puree until smooth and combined. Add the eggs and process until the eggs are combined. Now add the cacao powder, almond meal and salt. Pulse until the mixture is just combined. Remove the blade and stir in the remaining 2 ounces of dark chocolate.
Evenly spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the brownies are just set. DO NOT over bake or these will become cakey. Allow to cool before frosting.
Chocolate Fudge Frosting
In a small sauce pan, melt together the maple syrup, coconut oil and dark chocolate over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the cacao power + a pinch of salt. Pour the frosting over the brownies and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with any desired toppings. Place the brownies in the fridge and allow the frosting to set 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cut in bars and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the fridge. EAT...with milk!

Very good for you - and I'd recommend the parchment paper (it saves you a lot of agony in clean up!) plus maybe one of those cake servers, since when I tried to remove...the fudge top came off from the brownie way too easily >_<
That, and oddly enough - I would more than likely put less chocolate fudge on the top (yes, I overdid it...sue me :P)
This can also get all over you, so make sure to get plenty of napkins!
Other than that, delicious! (Can't even taste the avocado)
Enjoy!
