Vegan Chocolate Banana Pudding with Fresh Berries and Coconut Dark Chocolate Drizzle

I don’t know that you can call this dessert “light” since the secret ingredient, avocado, is certainly a high-fat food.  However, unlike the saturated fat from the cream in your typical chocolate mousse, this dessert packs heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and loads of potassium.  It’s also vegan, and according to Courtney “one of the best things you’ve ever made.”  Go ahead and try it out.
