Ingredients:

• ¾ cup raw unsalted cashews
• 9 Tbsp cocoa and 3 Tbsp coconut oil (refered to as chocolate in directions)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• Stevia to taste

Instructions:

1. Place cashews in bowl, cover with water and soak for at least 2 hours. Drain cashews, place in blender with ½ cup of water and blend until smooth.
2. Melt chocolate in double boiler or heatproof bowl set over pan of limitedly simmering water, stir often.
3. Stir cashew cream into chocolate along with vanilla and spices
4. Add stevia to taste
5. Serve with a platter of fruit such as strawberries, sliced apples or mangos.
6. If chocolate hardens, simply warm over low heat.

This can be used as a healthy substitute for Nutella ( Nutella is very unhealthy, read the ingredients on panel).

Note: if you want the chocolate to taste “less dark”, use 5 Tbsp cocoa.

These toppings can be added to any dessert!
