Berry Choc Nut Sundae
Chocolate Sundae Sauce
Sweet Vanilla Ice-cream
Instructions
  1. Chocolate Sundae Sauce: Blend everything except the Cacao Butter together until smooth.
  2. Chocolate Sundae Sauce: Gently *warm the Cacao Butter until melted, add to mixture and blend again (see recipe notes below for instructions on how to warm Cacao Butter). Set aside.
  3. Sweet Vanilla Ice-cream: Blend/grind Cashew Nuts into flour-like consistency.
  4. Sweet Vanilla Ice-cream: Add the rest of the ingredients except for the ice, and blend until smooth.
  5. Sweet Vanilla Ice-cream: Add Ice as needed and blend. And/or add a little Spring Water if becomes too thick to blend.
  6. Layer Fruit/Berries, Chocolate Sauce, Hazelnuts & Ice-cream, and repeat another layer. Top with extra Chocolate Sundae Sauce & Berries.
Recipe Notes

*To melt Cacao Butter - I heat some water in a pot, then place a stainless steel bowl in the pot, add a little heated water to the bowl, and then add a glass bowl in which the Cacao Butter can melt without it getting too hot/burning. We want the Cacao Butter to remain raw (healthy for us), so avoid heating it more than 40 °C / 104 °F.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove 

 -Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

 -Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).
