- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked for a couple of hours, then drained)
- ¾ cup almond milk
- ¼ cup coconut milk (use the thick part that collects on top)
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil
- ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon espresso coffee powder
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add the coconut oil to the chocolate and the coffee in a bowl and melt over a double boiler until very smooth.
In a blender, blitz the drained cashews with the almond milk, coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla until very smooth.
Pour out half of the custard into a large measuring cup or bowl and mix the remaining half well with the melted chocolate.
Divide the chocolate mixture among six very small ramekins. Top off with the vanilla mixture.
Using the back of a spoon or a popsicle stick, stir until you get a swirly look.
Place the ramekins on a tray or on a flat surface and refrigerate for at least four hours before serving.
Dust on some cocoa powder, if desired, before serving.
