Dark Velvet Bliss

Gourmet Spoonie
A rich, silky chocolate pudding made from avocado, banana, and cocoa, lifted with a splash of Baileys (or your favourite vegan liqueur). Quick to blend, naturally sweet, and wonderfully indulgent for a low-effort dessert.

Notes

Spoonie Notes:
  • Dark Velvet Bliss takes only minutes to prepare, which makes it a perfect dessert for Spoonies.
  • Be careful with alcohol if you’re using medications that might interact with it.
  • Have some overripe bananas? They work really well and add extra sweetness to this indulgent dessert.
For a dairy-free option, use Licor 43 or Amaretto instead of Baileys.
