Instructions
- 1
For best results, add all ingredients to a high-speed blender that has a lid with a vent to allow steam to escape. If you don’t have a blender, heat on the stovetop, omit the date, and sub with additional sweetener of choice (or blend ingredients with cold water/milk, then heat on the stovetop).

Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more honey or maple syrup for sweetness, cinnamon for warmth, cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor, or coconut milk powder or tahini for creaminess.
- 3
Enjoy as is or top with whipped cream of choice (we love coconut), and an optional drizzle of tahini, dusting of cocoa powder, or chocolate curls (use a vegetable peeler on your favorite chocolate bar).
