Notes

This is a wonderful healthy dessert recipe that can help to satisfy cravings while also delivering heart-healthy fat, fiber, and nutrients. Avocados are also renowned for their anti-cancer properties, including inhibiting cancer cell and pre-cancerous cell growth, as well as inducing apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells.

Dosha Type

This recipe is VP-K+, which means it most reduces Vata and Pitta and increases Kapha. Kaphas can enjoy in smaller quantities occasionally. Cacao is a stimulant, especially in high quantities, so even Vatas and Pittas want to consume in moderation.
