Raw Chocolate Caramel Dip
| 1 3/4 cup | dates (pitted) |
| 2 tbsp | cacao powder |
| 1 tsp | carob powder |
| 2 tbsp | coconut butter |
| 1 pinch | salt |
| 1 tsp | vanilla extract or powder |
| 2/3 cup | cashews |
| 1 1/2 | water |
| 3-4 cups | sliced fruits |
Soak the dates in 1/4 cup water for a few minutes. In a blender blend the cashews and water to creat cashew cream. Add the dates, cacao powder, carob powder, coconut butter, vanilla powder and salt and blend into a smooth paste.
Dip the fruits in the caramel sauce and arrange in a plater. Refrigerate till about 15-20 minutes before ready to serve. Or serve the fruits and dip separately in a plater. Goes well with apples, cantaloups, pears, not too ripe bananas.
This dip is in harmony with Vata and Pitta inclined constitutions; it can be enjoyed by those Kapha inclined, in very small portion.
