Ripe avocados blended smooth with melted chocolate, honey, cocoa and espresso. Rich and creamy.

Ingredients

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
4 very ripe avocados peeled and pitted
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon almond or regular milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Chocolate shavings for garnish
Fresh raspberries for garnish

Directions

Fill a saucepan one-third full of water and bring it to a simmer. Set a heatproof bowl holding the chocolate over it and turn off the heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in the espresso powder and let it cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, pulse the avocados, honey, cocoa, milk, vanilla, and salt until roughly combined, then add the chocolate and process until very smooth.
Divide among 6 small glasses and top with chocolate shavings and raspberries.
