Calories 215kcal
- 1 cup coconut milk see Notes
- 2 ounces soft dates
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate chopped fine
- tiny pinch sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Warm the coconut milk in a saucepan (just to bathwater temperature).
Turn the heat off and add the dates into the milk.
Let soak for 10 minutes.
Blend the milk with the dates in a high speed blender until smooth (there shouldn't be any visible pieces).
Add the date milk back to the saucepan and turn the heat on to medium high.
Whisk in the chopped chocolate until smooth and well combined. This takes a few minutes, as the chocolate has to melt.
Once smooth and thick, you can use it immediately or refrigerate for later. It thickens up even more when refrigerated!
