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!

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.
