Today I'm having my best friend over for lunch!! It's early September, we've had some rainy weather already but right now we're enjoying Summer's last fling!
This friend is always doing for her husband, family, mother, neighbours, friends, & me. I know she'll be running around like crazy today so I wanted to have her stop by for a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, one of our favourites! :D
Along with this yumminess, I wanted to give her a bit of a treat so I made the Looney Spoons Chocolate Pudding which is made from avocados. Now, this friend of mine is quite the home chef & not much of a baker so I always feel secure when I present her with treats for her & her husband or for her large family gatherings. But... She's an avocado aficionado so I know that this has to be perfect!
I sent hubby the following link on Pinterest: http://www.nwedible.com/never-buy-a-rotten-avocado-again/ because it was very important that he get me ripe ones for the recipe below. I told him I sent him the link. I trusted he looked at the link... Maybe that's where the plan fell down.
:(
These are the two I got:
I'm not an avocado fan, to say the least, but put it with some chocolate in a recipe and I'm all there! My friend & I made this pudding before at her place with perfect avocados and it was delish! I'm still holding my breath on how mine will turn out.
This trick surely seems to have worked with the two that I had:
Can you see my tears pooling on the cutting board?
Nasty!
Unsure if I can avoid this happening again, but here's hoping my dessert wasn't too compromised by the lack of avocado.
Here's a link to the recipe I used. I added more syrup as I could still identify the yucky avocado taste (I did mention I'm not a fan, right?).
Enjoy!!
