California Avocado Mocha Ganache Instructions

1. In a saucepan, gently heat butter, cocoa, chocolate, and coffee, whisking to combine. Remove from heat.
2. 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.
3. 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.
