Ingredients

  • 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys(R)) (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar, or to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste (optional)

Method

  • Blend avocado and melted butter together in a blender until completely smooth; pour into a saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Stir cocoa powder, melted chocolate chips, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract into the avocado mixture until smooth. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar in small amounts, stirring each addition completely into the avocado mixture before introducing the next; cook and stir until thick and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Grease a baking dish. Pour the fudge batter into the baking dish and smooth with a spatula into an even layer. Sprinkle chopped walnuts atop the fudge and dust with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar.
  • Refrigerate fudge until firmly set, at least 1 hour.
