But I am sure you will love this chocolate and avocado tart! Made with @whittakersnz creamy milk chocolate, New Zealand avocados @nz_avocado_au and sweetened with @manawahoneynz 100 MGO Mānuka honey.

Can you use avocado in a dessert?

Yes, you definitely can use avocado in a dessert. Did you know that avocados are actually fruit? Their creamy texture and mellow nutty flavour go well in desserts. From smoothies to ice pops and yes, especially when combined with chocolate! Avocados make a decadent filling for tarts!

You can even use this filling recipe for frosting…
