Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp tahini (we like this brand)
  • 1 pitted medjool date (or 2 tsp coconut sugar, or other sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup or honey (if not vegan)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp collagen peptides (adds creaminess + protein // omit if vegan)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut milk powder* (or omit and sub the hot water called for below with warmed milk of choice)
  • 1 ¼ cup very hot water (or milk of choice)

Instructions

  • For best results, add all ingredients to a high-speed blender that has a lid with a vent to allow steam to escape. If you don’t have a blender, heat on the stovetop, omit the date, and sub with additional sweetener of choice (or blend ingredients with cold water/milk, then heat on the stovetop).
  • Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more honey or maple syrup for sweetness, cinnamon for warmth, cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor, or coconut milk powder or tahini for creaminess.
  • Enjoy as is or top with whipped cream of choice (we love coconut), and an optional drizzle of tahini, dusting of cocoa powder, or chocolate curls (use a vegetable peeler on your favorite chocolate bar).
  • Best when fresh, though leftovers can be kept sealed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop.
