Avocado fudge has long been a tradition in avocado grower communities such as Fallbrook, California, where avocado trees are plentiful, and where the inspiration for this recipe was born.

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegan margarine
10 tablespoons avocado puree
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cocoa powder
3 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Sea salt, for garnish

Preparation

Gather the ingredients.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the vegan margarine over low heat.
Add the avocado puree into the saucepan and mix it together.
Place the saucepan over very low heat. Add the vanilla extract and the cocoa powder and about 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar, stirring to combine well. Continue adding the confectioners' sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, until it has been fully incorporated.
Once all the sugar has been added, the mixture should be thick. Add the chopped walnuts if desired, and transfer the mixture to a loaf pan.
Refrigerate until firm, 4 to 6 hours. You can also place in the freezer for 3 hours. Garnish with sea salt if you like.
Slice up the avocado chocolate fudge into squares and enjoy.
