RECIPE NOTES
Please note that nutrition facts were estimated using 50g of avocado (about half a medium one).
To break down the carb count for you (as a couple of you have gotten varying results): 4.5g (3.5g fiber) from 50g avocado + 3g (2g fiber) from 1TBS cacao + 3g from 1/2 cup coconut milk + 0.25g of vanilla extract = 10.75g total - 5.5 = 5.25g net.
Enjoy and always be sure to read your labels!
