Equipment Needed: Hi-Speed Blender like a Vita Mix
Yield: 4 cups – Serves 5-6
3 banana’s (RIPE)
3 Tablespoons RAW cacao powder
2 Tablespoons cashew butter*
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
6 dates, pitted
14 ice cubes (about 3-4 cups)
Place all items and about 4 ice cubes in the blender- no need to use crushed ice. Continue to add the additional ice cubes as the mixture is blending. You may not need to use all of the ice, but you are looking for the mixture to thicken up.
*I put about 1/4 cup of soaked and dehydrated cashews into the blender to make my own cashew butter before I started the recipe.
If you cannot eat all of this dessert at once, freeze and then let it thaw approximately 15-20 minutes before you enjoy again.
