Ingredients
- 200 g avocado flesh about 2 avocados
- 2 eggs
- ½ vanilla pod
- 1 tablespoon water
- 100 g/3.5 oz bar of 65-70% dark chocolate
- 85 g/3oz Dutch cocoa powder
- 50 g demerara or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey like Manuka honey, optional
- ½ tablespoon baking soda
- pinch of sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/360F. Grease with a little olive oil a 8" baking pan.
- Melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of boiling water. Once melted, let it cool a little.
- Add the avocado flesh into a mixer, then fold in eggs, vanilla and water. Blend all ingredients until creamy.
- Add in sugar, cocoa powder, honey if you like and a pinch of sea salt. Mix all ingredients, fold in baking soda and stir until just combined.
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan, levelling out the top and spreading well out the mix to all of the edges.
- Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and bake in the oven for 20-25 min, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely before taking out of the pan. Cut into square and drizzle with caramel sauce if you like. Enjoy!
