A Valentines dessert that's healthy for the heart

What a perfect dessert! Not only is this delicious, but very good for you too. Don't be afraid... Try it!
 

What you'll need for this recipe:
 
* 2 ripe  medium to small avocados 
 
* 1/2 cup raw cocoa powder 
 
* 5/8 cup raw agave nectar  (1/2 cup+ 1/8 cup)
 
* pinch of salt
 
* 1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 
 

Depending on how big your Avocados are you might have to add or subtract ingredients to taste.
 

Put all of the ingredients into a blender (vitamix) and mix until creamy. You can refrigerate it for up to 4 days in a sealed container, or eat it right away. Best if left to cool in the fridge for 30 min. before eating. Also makes a delicious frosting!
