This is really good and very creamy.
I picked up some Majool Dates at Sam's Club. Free Market , on Wisconsin Ave. would have them also.
Majool Dates are a larger, sweeter and creamier than other dates. they are considered the diamonds of dates.
If you don't have Majool you can use regular dates, just add more Agave Nectar if needed.
Ingredients:
- 10 Majool Dates -use kitchen sheers and cut into small pieces.
- 2 ripe avocado's
- 1/2 cup organic cocoa powder
- 3/4-1 cup water1
- 1 Tabelspoon Agave Nectar-optional, I did use.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla-no imitation please
- 1 teaspoon mint flavoring-optional
Directions:
- In a small kettle, add cut up dates and 1/2 cup water. Cook for a few minutes until dates and water become one. Cool.
- In a food processor, or blender, put in cooled dates, avocado's, cocoa powder and vanilla, and mint flavoring if using.
- Process until very smooth, stopping the machine and scraping down sides of machine a few times.
- Add the rest of the water
- Continue blending, until very creamy.
- Put in small bowl and refrigerate for several hours.
Enjoy!!!Avocados are a healthy fat. We need a certain amount of fat for our brain to be healthy. Don't overdo though.
It is very easy to cut this recipe in half if desired.
