A versatile fruit dip makes a tasty after school snack, fancy dessert or evening treat.
This Dark Chocolate Avocado Fruit Dip was actually created by accident. For real! I was on a mission to create an avocado chocolate ice cream but I liked the consistency so much after processing the ingredients so I went with it. No freezing needed. And to my surprise my picky eater husband was even a fan. Dark Chocolate Avocado Fruit Dip takes less than 15 minutes to make and is made with only 6 ingredients. This rich chocolatey goodness pairs perfectly with in-season fruit, nuts, or gluten-free pretzel twists. The almond butter in this recipe adds a nice nutty flavor. However, if you have a nut allergy, feel free to substitute sunflower seed butter. That’ll work too!

Fruit is abundant in nutrients and full of fiber but it lacks in protein or fat (except for avocados – that’s a special fruit). Pairing fruit with this Dark Chocolate Avocado Fruit Dip or another source of fat or protein, such as nuts or cheese, will help to enhance the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients, will slow down the rise in your blood sugars and in turn, will be more satisfying in the long run.
