Avocado Chocolate Fruit Dip
Description
The Avocado Chocolate Fruit Dip uses fresh, ripe avocados to create a smooth, creamy base combined with pure maple syrup for natural sweetness, cocoa powder for chocolate flavor, vanilla extract for aroma, and a pinch of sea salt to enhance balance. The mixture is blended until fully smooth, ensuring a consistent texture throughout.
If a thinner consistency is preferred for dipping, small amounts of non-dairy milk are added gradually. This dip pairs well with a variety of fresh fruits and crunchy snacks, providing a rich chocolate taste with the subtle buttery flavor of avocado. Its natural ingredients distinguish it from more processed dessert dips.
The dip should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and kept fresh with plastic wrap placed on the surface to prevent oxidation. Stirring before serving helps maintain smoothness. Its sweetness can be adjusted to personal preference by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Ingredients

- 2 avocado pitted and peeled, large, ripe

Instructions
- In a small food processor bowl or blender cup, add avocado, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt.
- Blend ingredients until smooth – you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl or cup a couple of times with a spatula.
- Thin as needed: If you'd like to thin out the fruit dip, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin to desired consistency. I used 2 tablespoons.
- Serve: Transfer dip to small serving bowl. Serve with assorted fruits, graham crackers, pretzels, crunchy cookies and more. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding maple syrup to taste, adding more if a sweeter dip is preferred.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days for best freshness.
- Place plastic wrap directly on the dip surface to minimize browning and maintain color.
- Stir the dip before serving if stored for more than a day to restore smooth consistency.
- Estimate serving size as about 1/4 cup of dip per person.
