decadent and healthy raw chocolate and double berry parfait





Today is warm and it is easter. Even though I didn't grow up celebrating Easter like people here in Australia do I decide to join a bit of indulgence today...
The best parfait ever! and I am sharing the recipe with you...

CHOCOLATE LAYER
1 avocado (I used reed but other variety will work too)
1/4 cup raw cocoa powder
1/4 date syrup (paste)
2 tsp raw coconut oil, melted
a few drops of stevia to sweeten to your liking

Blend all but coconut oil and stevia in a blender till smooth
add the oil and blend again.
adjust the sweetness with stevia

BLUEBERRY LAYER
1 1/2 banana, frozen
1/8 cup coconut meat
1/4 cup blueberry, frozen
2 tbs pomegranate juice

Blend all the ingredient in a blender. Unfrozen Bananas and blueberry work as well. If you are using frozen fruits you can leave to soften before blending.

CHOCOLATE SAUCE
raw coconut oil (melted)
raw cocoa powder
maple syrup

Mix all together

FEW FROZEN RASPBERRY FOR GARNISH

Assembly
place half of the chocolate layer in the bottom of a glass
top with blueberry layer
place in the freezer to harden a bit
repeat
garnish with the frozen raspberry and drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top. The sauce will harden as it touches the cold berries.

Then ENJOY the every mouthful!
