Ingredients
- 1 average-sized ripe avocado (approx. 240 g)
- 1/4 cup packed, soft and moist, pitted medjool dates (55 g)
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder (22 g)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave (30 mL)
- 1/8 tsp sea salt, optional
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and mix until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides is needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
The recipe serves 2 but can easily be doubled.
This is best served fresh, however, leftovers can be stored overnight if needed.
If the mixture is too thick when blending, add almond milk 1 tbsp at a time until you reach the right consistency. Coconut milk also works well here for a creamier addition.
If your dates are on the dry side, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes then drain well before using in the recipe.
