Healthy Chocolate Avocado Ganache Dessert Recipe

Chocolate lovers, it’s time to celebrate! Here’s an easy, two-ingredient, recipe that’s the most delicious, healthy and guilt-free dessert to ever grace this planet. It was inspired by Golden Door Chefs on a trip to southern California. It’s so rich and creamy you only need a small amount. Cacao is high in antioxidants, and avocado a healthy fat bursting with Omega-3’s. Do not skimp on the quality of chocolate by substituting with sugary, low cacao percentage chocolate. This is considered a healthy fat, so I recommend you eat a little protein and complex carb prior to enjoying this, just to balance it out and keep you satiated.
