3-ingredient chocolate pots de crème

Full disclosure: I am not crazy about chocolate. There, I said it. I like it but I'd much rather have something fruit-based. And when I do eat it, I pick dark (70%+). Always.

However when dealing with crazy hormones or fatigue or winter blues, there is nothing I like better than a creamy decadent chocolate dessert. Preferably something gooey and sweet (naturally sweet of course).

This recipe was born one evening with hormones out of whack and craving for something sweet.  I always only have whole foods in the house so I knew I would have to make something right there and then to satisfy my sweet tooth. Those three ingredients came to me as an evidence and boy, did the result hit the s(pot)! (See what I did there ? ;-))
 (Needless to say that I scoffed mine right away but you can have it chilled as well...

Dark chocolate contains flavenoids which help lower blood pressure and blood clot risk and improve mood. When choosing your chocolate, make sure it is dark with the highest percent of cocoa solids and pure cocoa butter, and less to none hydrogenated oils, dairy or soya. About 30g a day will give you all the nutritional benefits that you want.

(WARNING: Please note that you will need a high speed blender or mixer for this recipe, at least 600 Watt). I have made this with a small food processor and the crème turned out to be lumpy and quite dense, which was fine but not the original texture that I was looking for)

INGREDIENTS: (for 4 pots)

1 large mug of almond and rice milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
10 medjool dates (pitted)
50g dark chocolate (melted, preferably using a bain marie or water bath)


METHOD:

Blend everything together in a high speed blender until smooth. Pour evenly in ramekins. Chill for about 4 to 6 hours.... if you can wait for that long!
