How To Make A Raw Chocolate Avocado Slice

How often do you gear yourself up to make a delicious and impressive raw dessert for friends, only to find you need to an expensive piece of equipment like a vitamix or thermomix to achieve the right consistency?

This Raw Chocolate and Avocado Slice can not only be whipped up in a regular food processor, but it’s full of 100% healthy whole foods and good quality fats.

We used orange zest in this recipe to give it a classic jaffa flavour, but feel free to substitute the orange rind with peppermint essence for a choc-mint version, fresh or frozen raspberries for a choc-berry extravanganza or perhaps you’d like to stir through some cacao nibs for an epic choc-chip crunch. You’re welcome.
