Ingredients
6 Medjool dates, pitted
45g roasted peanuts
2 heaped tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
1 ½ tablespoons of oats
2 teaspoons of cacao powder
method
Place the dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a smooth paste. Place the rolled balls into the fridge for around 1 hour before serving, and then store in an air-tight container. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball.
Cacao and peanut is such an incredible combination, and it works amazingly here to add a chocolatey richness.
Next add in the oats, peanut butter, cacao powder and peanuts and pulse again until they are really well combined.
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball.
Continue doing this until the mixture has finished.
Place the rolled balls into the fridge for around 1 hour before serving, and then store in an air-tight container.

Mousse

i know it sounds very strange to put avocado in something sweet, but we think it’s definitely worth trying as using this is very creamy and we don’t think you can taste the veg – instead you taste deliciously chocolaty tones with sweet hints of dates and a little banana, then you get the crunchy almonds and the yoghurt and chocolate sauce.

ingredients
1 ripe banana
the flesh of 1 large or 2 small avocados
5 tablespoons cacao powder
5-6 tablespoons almond milk, or coconut milk
6 medjool dates, pitted
2 tablespoons date syrup
pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons almond butter, optional
method
if the dates aren’t really soft, soak them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes.
place all of the mousse ingredients into a food processor and blend into a smooth delicious mixture.
keep chilled in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
