About a year ago, I was introduced to “chocomole” by Katie from Kitchen Stewardship. She included a link to a recipe in one of her e-books, “Healthy Snacks To Go” and I was intrigued.

So intrigued that I made in the next week.

I could not believe it. I still can’t believe it.

It’s a dairy-free pudding. (I can’t remember the last time I had pudding.)

This chocomole is made from avocados. Yes, my dearly beloved avocados.

(I know!)

I have started making this again to help fatten up Tyler. When I make it…they all ask for more. And more. And more.

And we end up licking the blender clean!

Tricks to Make Chocomole for Less

• Buy both ripe and hard avocados when they are on sale. Use the ripe avocados right away, and let the hard ones ripen and use the following week
• Be on the lookout for coupons for A Taste of Thai…the coconut milk brand that tends to be cheapest
• Use Swagbucks credit to get maple syrup, agave or honey for free from Amazon
• Use coupons for the pistachios…I’ve seen them on Kroger.com digital coupons, and have printed them from the internet, and seen them in the newspaper.

This is the first of a few “Food Allergies on a Budget” recipe ideas that I’ll be sharing as part of the series! The recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free and tree nut-free if you omit the pistachios.
