I used:
Tin of chickpeas, drained
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 ripe avocado
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp sunflower oil
Then, I put them all in a blender and blitzed.
Simples.
Now, if I'm honest, I should have used my big, proper, powerful blender, rather than my hand-blender, as the texture was a bit weird - I'd prefer it to be smoother.
The taste, however, was really nice. I think some added dates would make it taste a bit more like chocolate fudge, but overall was a good experiment. It made 4 portions, which are now sitting in my fridge, ready for when I next fancy something sweet. I did lick out the bowl (as you do) and it is quite sweet, so could conceivably be split into 6 or 8 portions.
I used Explore Food Calculator to look at the nutrition of my recipe. Per portion (a quarter of the mixture) it contains 10g of protein, 7g of sugar, and 9g of fibre.
Not bad for a sweet treat that took less than 5min to make!
