I haven’t bought any chocolate spreads since I concerned the ingredients of them. A delicious chocolate flavoured spread can be made using Canned Butter Beans and you can find the recipe here, but you need to add Sugar to make it. This spread doesn’t require Sugar at all, because it is made of Dates. You only need 3 ingredients.

Makes

About 250g

Ingredients

1 cup (about 125g) Dried Pitted Dates
2/3 cup Milk *plant-based Milk can be used
2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder

Method

1. Finely chop up Dried Pitted Dates and place in a small saucepan. Add Milk, and cook over low heat, frequently stirring with a spatula, until the mixture turns a paste. Add extra Milk while cooking if required. Milk might slightly curdle, but don’t worry.
2. *Note: If you want to make the paste extra smooth, you may wish to use a stick blender to blend it, but I didn’t do it today.
3. Add Cocoa Powder and mix well. Store this spread in the fridge as it is made with Milk.
