Chocolate Ganache (dairy free)

Another "Health Starts Here" magical recipe. Dates and Almonds are gifts from heaven. Another sampled experience at Whole Foods. They had it as a dip for fresh strawberries, but it could go on bananas (when strawberries no estan aqui) crepes, or other desserts as well (Cake!! Cupcake! Ice cream!).

Serves 4-6

• 3/4 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked in 3 cups of water for 2 hours

• 3/4/ cup unsweetened cacao or cocoa power

• 1/2 cup raw almond butter (roasted might be good too)

• 1/2 tbl vanilla extract

• 3/4 cup water, divided 

Blend the softened dates (discard soaking liquid) cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla and 1/2 cup water until smooth and creamy. Add more water until desired consistency is achieved. Slightly thicker consistency for a dessert, or thinner to coat fruit.

You'll be saying "put it in my mouth" for sure.
