Chocolate Vegan Fruit Dip
My vegan fruit dip is chocolatey, higher in protein and completely plant-based. Dunk your strawberries in it for a wholesome snack or dessert.
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 6 medjool dates pitted
- 1 cup boiling water
- 215 g soft or silken tofu
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add pitted dates to a medium sized bowl. Cover with boiling water and allow to soak for about 5 minutes. This helps the dates soften, making them easier to blend.
- While the dates are soaking, add tofu, cocoa powder, peanut butter, milk, vanilla and cinnamon to a food processor or high powered blender. After 5 minutes, drain the water and add dates to the food processor. Blend on high until a smooth dip forms (about 5 minutes).
- Serve with your favourite fruit and enjoy.
