Instructions
- 1
Fill a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Set a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chopped vegan chocolate and stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth, about 3–4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool for 5 minutes.

Add the avocado flesh to a food processor and process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1 minute. The purée should be uniform with no lumps.
