- Chocolate Date Peppermint Mouse
-
- 1/2 cup Natural Delights Pitted Whole Medjool Dates about 7-8
- 6 ounces dark chocolate chunks
- 12 ounces silken tofu drained and patted dry
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract plus more to taste
- Pinch of salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- Crushed candy canes optional, for garnish
- Directions
- Soak the dates in a bowl of hot water for about 20 minutes to soften them. While the dates are soaking, place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl). Stir occasionally until the chocolate has completely melted. Once the dates have softened, remove them from the water and gently pat dry, then roughly chop and add to a high-speed blender along with the tofu and coconut milk. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed. Add the melted chocolate, coconut milk, peppermint extract, and salt and blend again until the mixture is silky smooth. Taste and add more peppermint extract, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, if desired, blending after each addition. Divide evenly into four small jars or shallow glasses. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Top with dairy-free whipped cream and crushed candy canes just before serving. Enjoy!

Medjool Date-Honey Caramel Ice Cream
The night before soak cashews in enough water to cover. Place in refrigerator. Place your ice cream churning bowl in the freezer.
Drain cashews and blend with coconut milk, agave, vanilla and one-teaspoon sea salt in a blender on high until completely smooth & creamy.
Pour mixture into the ice cream churning bowl and churn for 20-30 minutes (or according to manufacturer's recommended time)
To make the Medjool date honey caramel: Soak dates for at least ten minutes in hot water then drain. Place dates in bowl of food processor and pulse until only small bits remain. Add in honey, water, and remaining teaspoons of sea salt to the food processor bowl then pulse until mixture becomes fully incorporated. Set aside.
Working quickly pour churned ice cream into a shallow container. Swirl caramel into the ice cream and stir a little at a time to create a marbled pattern. Continue using until caramel is finished.
Place ice cream back in the freezer to set or until ready to eat.
