This easy 4-ingredient avocado fudge is the perfect treat for the health nuts in your life. Eating healthier has never tasted this good.
I don’t know about you, but when the holidays roll around I find myself spending lots of time in the kitchen baking various treats for gifts and get togethers. Why do we do this to ourselves?
Why do we spend so much time during the holiday season shopping, gifting, gathering with friends?
I have an easy and healthy solution for your baking and gifting needs.
This easy FOUR INGREDIENT avocado fudge requires only ten minute of your hands on time and your fridge will take care of the rest.
I will often alternate having either this avocado fudge or these homemade peanut butter cups in my fridge at all times. After all, a girl needs something healthier to satisfy that sweet chocolate tooth.
Regular chocolate fudge is super easy to make at home – most recipes are two ingredients with minimal hands on time. However, calories from using sweetened condensed milk can start to add up. Replace the heavy sugary condensed milk with coconut oil and ripe avocado.
The key is to use an avocado that is very ripe. Not overly ripe and black, but find an avocado that’s begining it’s stage from ripe to slight browning. It will be the easiest to work with texture wise and will not have over powering avocado flavor.
I also strongly suggest preparing this recipe using a double boiler. You can find one on Amazon for less than $20. I higly recommend if you do a lot of baking to invest in something a little heavier. I have had my Farberware Double Boiler for well over 20 years now and it’s still in great condition.

Minor correction: the kitchen tool in question is a double *boiler*, not double broiler (which doesn't exist). You can also improvise one with a deep pot and a heatproof bowl.
