The healthy science bit...

High quality cacao is such a super food, the flavanoids in the cacao prevent fat like substances from oxidising in the blood stream and from clogging up the arteries.  Cacao is powerful on the central nervous system, so over indulging could interfere with calcium retention.  60g a day is a good healthy guide.  In it's raw form it contains anandamide this induces euphoria, along with phenylethylamine which both are mood enhancers.  There is a question that adding dairy to your cacao inhibits the absorption of nutrients, coconut milk is a great substitute.

The avocado has vitamin B6, K, C, E, avocado's are a perfect food that produces compounds necessary for your liver to cleanse toxins.  67% mono-unsaturated good fats as oleic acid, 19% fat as palmittic acid & linoleic acid, 14% saturated fat, potassium, folic acid, iron, maganese, zinc, copper, selenium, calcium, high in fibre and helpful in lowering blood cholesterol and relaxing arteries.

The coconut milk is rich in fibre, vitamin C, E, B1, B3, B5, iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magesium, phosphorous and is lactose free.

Cooking time 5 minutes / Level: Super easy

INGREDIENTS

(serves 3)

1 very ripe avocado

2 tsps honey (optional)

1 tsp vanilla pod caviar (optional)

100ml coconut cream

1/4 cup of good quality cacao powder

Or

100g melted 70%-85% organic Green and Blacks chocolate 

Optional chopped nuts, seeds, fresh mint

So quick and simple, just place all the ingredients in a blender and whizz until smooth, this will keep for a week in the fridge, you don't need a large portion of this as it is very rich, a little goes a long way, which means you can have this more often.

My husband will not eat honey or vanilla so I melt a bar of green and blacks chocolate instead of using cacao powder to lessen the bitterness from not adding the honey and vanilla and serve his puddings with double cream.
