This is a GREAT way to get a guilt free chocolate fix!
1 Cup raw cashews, soaked 6 hours
2 tablespoons coconut nectar
4 teaspoons coconut oil (measure solid then melt)
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
1 teaspon vanilla essence
½ cup almond milk
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
zest of ½ orange
squeeze of orange juice
Method:
1. place
everything except the coconut oil in a blender and blend till smooth
2.slowly add the
coconut oil
3.pour into
glasses or jars, there should be enough for 4 people
4.place in fridge.
This will be ready to eat within an hour but firms up nicely overnight.
5.just before
serving , add a dollop of coconut yoghurt and grate some orange chocolate and
orange zest on top.
What is coconut nectar? never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteHi Raelene, Coconut Nectar come froms the coconut tree, it's like a sap that comes from the blossom, a little like maple syrup . It's low GI and a more natural sweetener than Agave. you should find it at health food stores.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply. I've seen all sorts of coconut products at the health food store but never that. I will ask them next time I'm in there and see if it's something they can get hold of. Thanks so much....and nice looking recipe too :)
