This was a recipe that happened by accident. While making my chocolate coconut torte for a client, I tasted the filling and
realized that this was insanely good without the crust. As I try and continue to make
recipes that are ‘clean’, my goal is to also make them incredibly easy and approachable.
What is easier than a recipe that has only two ingredients? I’m not exactly sure if this
is a mousse, a pudding, but in any case- it’s creamy, chocolatey, and decadent! As
always, this recipe is free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugars.

Notes
*Coconut milk notes: Only use the solid cream
from the coconut milk can. Use the coconut water for a smoothie, or drink it
on its own! I recommend an unsweetened full fat coconut milk that has guar
gum to help keep a thick and creamy consistency. I love Thai Kitchen brand.
If the coconut milk you buy does not have the cream and water separated,
just store in refrigerator overnight. Some stores sell the coconut cream
already separated.
One of the hardest store bought products to find that has clean
ingredients is a tasty dairy free ice cream. The sugar content is either astronomical or
the ingredients have names I cannot pronounce.Due to the lack of options out there, I
REALLY wanted to try making my own ice cream. I refused however to bring one more
kitchen appliance into our apartment. I also know I’m not the only person who does not
own an ice cream maker so I thought… so wouldn’t it be amazing if we could just make it
in a food processor or blender? I remembered all the times I have made ice cream by
simply placing frozen fruit (bananas) into my Vitamix. I realized I needed to get the
ice cream base frozen without the machine - but how? Well, how else do you get liquids
frozen? Ice cube trays!
This superfood packed breakfast has healthy fats, carbs, protein, and
antioxidants - did I also mention chocolate and peanut butter? For breakfast? I’M IN! I
use the frozen sambazon smoothie packs for my acai bowls but I hear the powder works
well too! If you follow me on instagram, you’ll notice I have been adding avocado to
every single one of my smoothies. It adds the creamiest texture without adding loads of
bananas. Hope you love this delicious breakfast bowl.
