Serves: 1 cup|Prep: 5 min

This moreish alternative to sugar-packed chocolate spreads can be used on your favourite bread, crackers or in muffin recipes either as a filling, as icing or to eat straight up – you can also try it as a dip with fruit or veggie sticks.

Ingredients

Method

½ cup of cacao powder
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup tahini
1 tbsp coconut oil

1.	Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl, and using a hand held processor blend until a smooth consistency is reached. If it is too thick add a tbsp of water and keep adding until desired consistency is reached

Tip:

You can replace the tahini with other school friendly seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

If your school allows nuts, then you can use ground roasted hazelnuts for a delicious nutty choc spread.

If your children are used to sweet chocolate spreads you can increase the sweetness by adding more maple syrup and over time reduce the amount of sweetness.

For sweetened taste use 1/4 cup of cacao and carob.

If the spread is too think, thin out with water.
