Chocolate Pots De Creme (Egg-free!)
Chocolate Pots De Creme is a creamy, egg-free dessert blending soaked cashews, almond milk, coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup into a rich pudding texture. Chilled until set, the mixture yields a smooth, dairy-free chocolate custard alternative with subtle sweetness and a chocolate intensity suitable for serving chilled, optionally topped with coconut whipped cream or fresh fruit.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashew nuts soaked in water for up to 2 hours, raw
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or water)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 6 tablespoons cacao powder
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the cashews well, discarding the soak water.
- Combine the drained cashews, almond milk or water, coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt in a high-speed blender, and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides, if needed, to make sure everything is mixed evenly.
- Pour the mixture into 4 small dishes (each serving is roughly 1/2 cup), then place them in the fridge to chill until set, about 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.
- Serve chilled, with coconut whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and/or shaved chocolate on the top, if desired.
- You can make this dish up to 3 days in advance, but I recommend keeping the tops covered if you're going to make them more than 24 hours in advance. (That way the tops won't absorb any other flavors from your fridge.)
