DIRECTIONS¶

1. Mix the boiling water with the cocoa powder to bloom it, then let it cool down.
2. Cut the dates into halves by their long side, and make sure they’re pitted and not spoiled.
3. In an empty Creami tub, blend the chickpeas, aquafaba, and dates first, to a smooth paste.
4. Then add the other ‘wet’ ingredients and the cocoa.
5. Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
6. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
7. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
8. Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
9. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
