The simplicity of chocolate pudding never goes out of style; however, spiced with cinnamon and cayenne, it instantly feels a touch more extraordinary. This is a wickedly tricky way to use up ripe avocados (but I promise you won't taste their vegetal undertones) and can be topped with even more kitchen chicanery in the form of a faux whipped cream made from canned coconut milk. High in healthy fats (and deliciousness), along with an array of other nutrients, this is a bowl you'll want to hug.
