Ingredients: (Serves 2)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 dates
- 12 (or so) cashew nuts
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (raw is great if you’ve got it))
- 4 tablespoons of cold water
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey
Method:
- Put the cashews in the blender and pulse until almost a paste.
- Add the other ingredients and mix until smooth.
Serving Tips:
Chop a few pistachios or other nuts and sprinkle on top before serving. Fresh raspberries or other seasonal berries are a lovely accompaniment to the taste of chocolate; so are mint sprigs.
