- 2 medium avocados ripe
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder or more according to your taste
- 5 fresh or dried dates pitted, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- toasted coconut, chocolate nips, or berries optional for garnish
Soak the dates in warm water for 10-30 minutes to soften
Add avocado, dates, milk, vanilla, salt, and cacao powder to blender or food processor
Blend until smooth. You may need to add more liquid for easier blending. You may need tamper for Vitamix while blending and scraping sides at times.
Adjust ingredients to taste, adding more powder if needed
Serve and garnish with choice of toppings.
It is very stiff blending for me using the Vitamix, but it does work well. I do add a bit of the date water or more milk to add in blending. You could use any type of milk that you prefer. You could play with different types of extract for different flavors such as peppermint. I used sweetened cacao nips, raspberries, and mint leaves in the photo.
