- 2 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted, peeled
- 4 Tbsp. monk fruit sweetener
- 1 Tbsp. cold water
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cacao powder, divided
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine avocado and monk fruit sweetener with a fork until avocado is mashed and pudding-like. Add water and one tablespoon of cacao powder and mix until well combined. Set aside.
- In a medium size saucepan, warm milk over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of cacao powder, ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Bring it to a slight boil, reduce heat and whisk until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.
- Use a hand blender to blend avocado mixture in the saucepan with the warm milk. Blend for 30 seconds until the liquid is smooth and frothy.
- Pour into 4 mugs and serve hot.
Notes & Tips:
If not using a hand blender, blend in small batches the warm milk with the avocado mixture in a regular blender. This is to avoid overflowing and be cautious when blending hot liquids.
