A sweet temptation
Do you want a rich and healthy sweet at the same time? Try this one, it will surprise you!
If what this widely used phrase says “in this life, you cannot have everything ” were true, this recipe could not exist. Many times we have deprived ourselves of eating something sweet due to the eternal dichotomy between healthy foods and nutritious foods.
Eating ultra-processed sweets involves eating too much fat and sugar. It is something that triggers the caloric intake in our diet and also causes addiction.
The worst thing is that food companies know this and still continue to use countless ingredients that harm our health.
Being overweight and other problems like diabetes are becoming more common. It is not a whim to want to keep the scale digits stable, it is a matter of health.
So everyone should know that this recipe is as rich and delicious as it is healthy. At least this time you don’t have to make a choice.
Do you dare to try it? We guarantee that you will love it … And if it creates addiction, no problem!
Ingredients
With these ingredients come 4 servings:
- 2 glasses of non-dairy milk
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons almond puree (or ground almond)
- 6 dates
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- a pinch of salt
Preparation
Time required: 25 minutes.
It is a very simple recipe with which you can prepare rations for several days (you can keep it in the fridge without any problem).
- Remove the stones from the dates and soak for 20 minutes
Use natural dates, not those that are dipped in syrup
- Peel the avocados and remove the stone
- If you do not have almond puree, grind raw almonds in a grinder
- Put all the ingredients in the blender or kitchen robot and beat for 30 seconds
Check that there are no ingredients left unblended
- Serve in desired bowls or jars
Observations
We have tried to make this recipe with dates of the Medjool and Deglet Noor varieties and we have not seen any differences.
Although they can be served directly, it is preferable to leave the custard to cool for a couple of hours in the refrigerator so that they acquire the usual texture of custard.
If you notice that it is not very sweet, you can beat again with a couple more dates or add agave syrup or similar. If you are diabetic, replace these with xylitol or your usual sweetener.
How to improve the presentation?
Add some 85% melted chocolate on top or alternate layers of custard with layers of chocolate to play with the combination of textures and give it an irresistible look.
A last touch with cocoa nibs and some red fruit on the surface gives it the final touch.
