Equipment

  • Blender or food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1x 400g tin chickpeas no added salt
  • 5 tablespoons raw cacao powder
  • 5 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons hulled tahini
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt

Optional:

  • 1 teaspoon coffee granules to flavour
  • cacao nibs to finish
  • toasted hazelnuts to finish

Instructions
 

  • Drain the chickpeas, no need to rinse them.
  • Add chickpeas, cacao powder, maple syrup, tahini, vanilla, sea salt and coffee if desired to a blender, and blend until smooth. Stop and scrape the sides down as you go.
  • Transfer to a small dish or plate and enjoy as is, or sprinkle cacao nibs and toasted hazelnuts over the top to finish.

Notes

  • This is best served with a medley of freshly prepared fruits: strawberries, cherries, blueberries, pear, watermelon, orange, kiwifruit.
  • If you want to cut your kiwifruit into a fancy shape like I have here, watch this video.
  • Personally the addition of coffee takes it next level for me!
  • Store in the fridge, mix well before serving.
  • Nutritional panel is an estimate only, and excludes the optional toppings.
