Mexican-Spiced Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Avocado in a dessert? Seems odd at first, we know. However, it makes sense that

such a creamy vegetable would work well in a decadent pudding recipe. This chocolate avocado pudding is so rich, creamy, and so chocolatey, you’ll forget about the avocado part– quickly. The chile powder, cinnamon, and salt add just the right amount of contrast.
