I added 1/2 cup plain yogurt really yummy!

Glad someone wrote about the missing almond milk-it really needed it. I used corn syrup for my sweetener. It really turned out great. Super easy. My vegan son will love it. I sure did
Jill Smith
Great recipe – and yes, she did leave the almond milk out of the ingredient list and the directions and also changed the bitter sweet chocolate chips to semi-sweet chips.  I have used both and it still comes out great.  I did use it however, as she does in the video.   I made a similar recipe to this years ago with my daughter – we loved it.

So good and my little one loved it as well I used 1/4cup of agave as I didn’t want it to sweet and it was perfect also mixed in some of the dark chocolate unsweetened! So creamy and delicious!

this recipe is very simple and does not require milk, not sure what many of the comments are referring to? 
Matthew Jones
I don’t see the milk – type or amount – in this recipe. Could you please clarify?
I would really like to try it.
Thanks

I used unsweetened almond milk. My family didn’t love this as much as I did, but I thought it was incredibly creamy and decadent. I’m afraid I ate 3/4 of the recipe myself over two days! For that reason I cannot make it again! 🙂

Okay, this was insanely good. I couldn’t even taste the avocado! I used full-fat coconut milk and maple syrup instead of almond milk and agave, but I’m wondering, has anyone tried experimenting with the amount of sweetener? I think next time I will try to cut it back a bit because I try to limit sugar in my diet. I thought it tasted pretty perfect as is for those of you who don’t care about that, though!
