Raw Chocolate Avocado Cream Cake low carb low sugar recipe heart healthy diet

By

Has avocado ever looked so tempting? I know this cake sounds crazy, but it works. This raw cake with chocolate avocado cream is actually super tasty, as the Chocolate Avocado Cream is rich and creamy, yet much healthier than standard chocolate cream. It is dairy-free and much lower in saturated fat. If you are afraid to taste the avocado, don’t worry, you will never guess there is avocado inside! This is a healthier and lighter way to create a delicious chocolate cream. Avocado is filled with healthy fats, which means the dessert is thick, creamy and filling while giving your body a boost of the nutrients and fats your body needs!

Further Food Commentary:

In Giada's Raw Cake recipe, the low carbohydrate and and sugar content stand out instantly when compared to regular desserts. The carbohydrates that are in this recipe come from the fiber in the pecan crust. Fiber is great for cardiovascular and digestive health. The magnesium in pecans has been shown to to help lower blood pressure.

The star ingredient to top these pies are the avocados. Avocados are packed with monounsaturated fats in the form of oleic acid which may reduce the risk for coronary heart disease and strokes.

      Hi Emilie, this recipe uses pecans for the base, you just need to put in the food processor without toasting.
