This amazing Paleo Chocolate Haupia recipe is fantastic, just mouth melting. The last thing I would like to add is that you MUST serve this dessert along with some type of berry. I personally love this with fresh blueberries or strawberries. I hope you like it.
Ingredients
Chocolate Crust
- ⅔ cup raw almonds
- ⅔ cup raw pecans
- 10 large medjool dates
- 6 tablespoons raw cacao powder
Haupia
- ½ cup arrowroot powder
- ¾ cup water
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
Instructions
Chocolate Crust
- grind the almonds and pecans, one at the time, in a food processor leaving a few small chunks
- remove pits from dates and process in the food processor until creamy
- mix all crust ingredients until well combined and then evenly spread it on the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper
Haupia
- combine the arrowroot powder and water in a bowl and mix until all the arrowroot has dissolved
- add the arrowroot mixture to a saucepan along with the coconut milk and raw honey
- slowly cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens
- remove from the stove and stir in the vanilla extract
- pour mixture over the crust and refrigerate overnight or until the coconut layer is firm
- cut into squares and drizzle with melted dark chocolate or chocolate chips. I like using a ziploc bag to drizzle the chocolate. Cut a small hole on one end of the bag and fill it with the melted chocolate.
