A Healthy Chocolate Dip

If you’re looking for an amazing chocolate dip that is made with real ingredients, easy to throw together and something everyone will love (yes, even kiddos!) then you must make this chocolate fruit dip recipe!

It’s a sneaky way to include some healthy fats into a dessert (thank you, avocados), and pairing this dip with fruit means you’re getting in some additional fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Ideas for Serving

This chocolate fruit dip is the perfect anchor to build a beautiful dessert charcuterie board. Whether you’re serving for friends and family, or want to do something fun with kids!

Fruits

When you think of chocolate dipped fruit you automatically think of strawberries, so they are a must here. I love how the look of this board came out so here are the fruits for dipping we suggest:

• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Banana slices

Crackers + Cookies

Graham crackers, crunchy cookies and pretzels (salty + sweet!) work well here too.

Making Fruit Dip for a Party?

If serving to guests, you can prep the avocado chocolate dip the morning of, wash and dry berries, slice any fruit and build a board with cookies, graham crackers and pretzels, then tightly wrap and chill until ready to serve.

Healthy Chocolate Dip Ingredients

• avocados – if you want to enjoy this fruit dip recipe sooner rather than later, make sure to grab ripe ones if you can. Or allow the avocados to ripen at room temperature.
• maple syrup – the liquid sweetener here keeps this recipe vegan friendly.
• cocoa powder  – make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder, or sub cacao powder.
• vanilla extract – helps add a little flavor.
• pinch of salt – balances the sweetness.
• non-dairy milk – if your dip is a little thick, you can add some non dairy milk to help achieve your desired consistency.

How to Make Chocolate Fruit Dip

It takes less than five minutes to throw together, which means it is the perfect healthy dessert to serve this summer with all of the fresh fruit!

So here’s the thing… literally ANYONE can make this recipe. It is so easy.

Everything gets put in the food processor – ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt – and then the ingredients get processed until smooth.

If your dip looks a little thick, add some plant milk to the bowl and process again until smooth and creamy.

TIP: You may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl of the food processor a couple of times to make sure everything gets evenly combined.
