Ingredients
- 4 large + very ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (melted and lightly cooled)
- 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1/3 cup canned coconut milk

- When ready to serve, melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
