Servings: 6 desserts
Calories: 247kcal
Ingredients
- 180 g medjool dates (10 large dates)
- 250 ml nut milk (or whatever milk you buy)
- 160 g dark chocolate (or chocolate chips)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Roughly tear the dates, discarding the pits and soak in just boiled water for 10 minutes. This will help to soften them.
- Heat up the nut milk in a pan (or in a jug in the micrwave) and set aside.
- Finely slice some dark chocolate for decoration (or set some choc chips aside) with a knife, you want about 2 tablespoons of shaved chocolate.
- Chop the rest of the chocolate and add to a blender or food processor, then pour over the hot nut milk. Drain the soft dates and add them and the salt, then carefully blend until smooth.
- Divide the mixture between 6 glasses, ramekins or jam jars and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours until set. Cover them if you are keeping them in the fridge for longer.
- To serve scatter over the chocolate shavings and any other toppings you like.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use dark chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate.
- You can use your regular milk.
- You can use another type of date but you won't get that toffee-like flavour.
- Jam jars are great for storing these in the fridge, covered.
- If you are serving these with whipped vegan cream, don't add it until you are just about o serve them. Store them in the fridge without cream.
- For a Christmas dessert you could add orange extract, orange zest and nutmeg.
