Ingredients
  • 2 cups cashews
  • 4 medjool dates pitted (add 1 more if its not sweet enough for you)
  • 4 T coconut oil
  • 4 drops vanilla paste
  • 1 cup good quality coffee
  • 1tsp rapadura sugar
  • 2T cacao powder
  • 1T maple syrup
  • 12 grain free cookies (see above link in the text for recipe or use vegan biscuits)
Instructions
  1. Soak the cashew in the fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight
  2. Remove the cashews from the fridge and drain the excess water. Give them a rinse and put them in a high speed blender. Add 1 cup water, 4 dates, 2T coconut oil, 4 drops vanilla paste and blend until very smooth. You will have to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
  3. In a separate bowl mix the cacao powder, maple syrup and remaining 2T coconut oil until combined well.
  4. Sweeten the coffee with rapadura sugar.
  5. Take 6 small ramekins and break up the biscuits into the base of each one. Spoon over some coffee, then layer with a big tablespoon of the cashew cream. Spoon some chocolate mix over the cream and repeat that layering again until the ramekins are full, sprinkle some cacao over the top or grate some chocolate over.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour to set. ( They get far tastier with time though)
  7. Makes 6
