- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baked donut pan.
- Heat water, butter, cocoa, chocolate chips, and salt in a saucepan over medium low heat, whisking to combine. Set aside.
- Add avocado, sugar, and yogurt to the bowl of a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Add the chocolate mixture and blend until well-combined. Add the egg and pulse three to five times to incorporate.
- Whisk together flour and baking soda then gently fold in chocolate mixture – in three batches.

California Avocado Mocha Ganache Instructions
- In a saucepan, gently heat butter, cocoa, chocolate, and coffee, whisking to combine. Remove from heat.
- Add avocado and heavy cream to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth. You may have to stop to scrape down the sides. Once smooth, add boiling water and blend until combined.
- Return chocolate mixture to heat adding avocado mixture, one tablespoon at a time. Whisk to combine between each addition. Remove from heat and place in a wide bowl to cool.
Blogger Note: I use C4C gluten-free flour blend.
Beverage Pairing: Ice cold milk or a hot cup of joe.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
Did You Know?
In addition to using avocados in baking as a smart substitution for butter and shortening, California Avocados are wonderful in other desserts like avocado pie, avocado mousse and avocado ice cream.
As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados
