Ingredients

• 2 c. cashews, soaked and drained
• 1⁄4 c. cacao powder
• 11⁄2 c. almond milk
• 1⁄2 c. agave nectar
• 1⁄2 c. coconut butter
• 1⁄2 c. melted coconut oil
• 1⁄4 c. cold-brewed coffee*

Instructions

1. Place the cashews, cacao powder, almond milk, agave nectar, coconut butter, coconut oil, and cold- brewed coffee in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
2. Pour the filling into ramekins or pudding cups and set in the fridge until set aprox 4 hours.

Notes

*Cold-brewed coffee is made from steeping coffee grounds in room temperature or cold water for 12 hours or more, resulting in a coffee concentrate. Many coffee cafes and markets sell cold brewed coffee or you can make it yourself using coarsely ground beans and a ratio of 1⁄3 c. coffee to 1 1⁄2 c. filtered water. Let steep for at least 12 hours, then strain. You can use the leftover for ice coffee.
