*To puree avocado, use a sharp knife and cut into the avocado straight down and around the hard pit inside. Twist into two halves-one half will contain the pit. Carefully and quickly hit the pit with the knife then with a twisting motion, loosen the pit and pull it out. To remove the avocado from the skin, ease a spoon between the flesh and the skin and scoop it out. Then, puree the avocado in a food processor.

Tips:

Use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are softer and easier to mash, and they have a richer flavor.
Use dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content than milk chocolate, which gives it a more intense flavor.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
Bake the cupcakes at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the cupcakes to rise evenly without overcooking.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
