Notes/Tips:

  • Make sure your avocado is ripe otherwise it will not be creamy.

  • The bananas need to be over ripe as they help it being creamy and add sweetness.

  • Use medjool dates if possible.

  • Date syrup helps add sweetness so if you use it, reduce the amount of dates used.

  • You can use melted dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder. Just melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly. Add it to the mixture instead of cocoa powder.

  • You can add 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar if you like it sweeter.

  • Make sure you cover the bowls with cling film. This helps prevent oxidation on the surface.
