Ingredients
(Serves 2 in mugs, 2-4 in ramekins. Adapted from The Detoxinista)
(1) 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for 2+ hours
(2) 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter is fine for de-veganizing)
(3) 1/4 cup cocoa powder
(4) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
(5) 1/2 tsp sea salt
(6) 1/4 cup maple syrup, honey, or agave
(7) 1/2 cup almond or soy milk (I used chocolate milk for extra chocolatey flavor!)
(8) Optional: 1 tbsp espresso powder (not shown), dark chocolate shavings or fruit (for garnish)
Steps
1. Soak your cashews for two or more hours, until cloudy.
2. Drain and rinse your cashews, then throw them along with all the other ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
3. This step is optional, but I like to strain the mixture through a mesh sieve to create a smoother texture.
4. Pour into a mug or ramekin and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Sprinkle on chocolate shavings or fruit as garnish.
I was sooo satisfied with how it turned out! It's super smooth and creamy with just the right about of richness, and its texture was very similar to real pot de creme! Best of all, no baking! I'm definitely going to play around with this recipe for different flavors, maybe vanilla bean, white chocolate, or mango?!
