Chocolate Avocado Tart
https://foodloversmarket.co.za/recipes/chocolate-avocado-tart/
If cauliflower can become pizza, and black beans can become brownies, then avocado can become a tart right!?
Chocolate and Avocado actually make a really great pair, try it before you turn your nose up. Avocado is a high fat, and you can use it as a healthier alternative fat in baking too. We’ve also made avocado brownies and an avocado chocolate mousse…so we know the combo works! Make this, and once your guests tell you it’s delicious…let them know it’s made out of avos.
