Jamie Oliver's Chocolate Orange Pots
When only chocolate will do, these pots are sweet, tangy, comforting, silky and utterly delicious.
Equipment
- mortar and pestle
- blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 3 tbsp skinned hazelnuts
- 10 oz silken tofu
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 orange
- 6 generous tbsp Greek or plant-based yogurt
- Seasonal fruit ie. oranges, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, to serve
Instructions
- In a bowl, just cover the dates with boiling water and let soak for 5 minutes, then drain. Toast the hazelnuts in a small frying pan until lightly golden, shaking regularly, then crush in a mortar and pestle until fine.
- Add the dates to a blender with the tofu and cocoa. Finely grate in the orange zest, squeeze in the juice, add 1 ice cube, if you have it, and blitz until super-smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula a few times.
- Divide the mixture between little pots, glasses or cups, and either eat right away, or cover and stash in the fridge until you want them (up to 3 days). Serve each pot with a spoonful of yogurt, a sprinkling of crushed hazelnuts and some extra fruit, of your choice.
