Calories: 295kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cacao butter , shaved
- 1/2 cup Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 (14-oz) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Melt the cacao butter. Add the cacao butter to a small saucepan and warm it over low heat to melt.
- Blend the ingredients. Add the melted cacao butter, dates, coconut milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Chill. Transfer the chocolate cream into individual serving bowls. Tap each serving bowl against the counter a few times to allow the air bubbles to come to the surface and burst. If this doesn’t initially work, tap more, using more force in the tapping. Refrigerate until thickened, for 1-2 hours.
- Serve. Top with coconut whipped and shaved chocolate (optional). Serve chilled.
- Store. Leftover chocolate cream keeps well, covered, in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
