Ingredients:
1 cup almonds (raw or roasted, as per your preference)
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: If your almonds are raw, soak them in water for about 4-6 hours to make them soft and easier to blend. After soaking, drain the water. Also, make sure your dates are pitted.
Blend Almonds and Dates: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked almonds and dates. Blend until you have a coarse paste, but ensure the mixture isn’t too smooth—leave a little texture for a delightful bite.
Add the Milk: Gradually add milk to the almond and date paste, blending it slowly until it reaches a creamy, smooth consistency. You can adjust the amount of milk to make the mixture as thick or thin as you prefer.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the mixture into small cups or bowls, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes if you prefer a colder, firmer texture. If you like it fresh and creamy, enjoy immediately!
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: This dessert can be enjoyed on its own or topped with a sprinkle of crushed almonds, chia seeds, or coconut flakes. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Storing: Store any leftover mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If it thickens too much in the fridge, simply stir in a little more milk to loosen it up. Alternatively, freeze it in ice cube trays for convenient single-serving portions.
