Yum! This video features chef Vanessa Sherwood from G Living prepares a lucious chocolate martini, perfect for after dinner. This liquid dessert recipe can be served without the alcohol as well for a warm luxurious treat.
Chocolate Martini:
1 Cup Water
¼ Cup Cashews
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1-2 Tablespoon Agave Nectar (depending on how sweet you like it)
Seeds from ½ Vanilla Bean (or 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract)
1 Tablespoon Grated Cacao Butter
1 Pinch of Salt
1 Tablespoon Raw Cacao Nibs
Pinch of Salt
1 oz. Organic Vodka
Cacao Nibs as Garnish
Instructions: In a high-speed blender, blend the water and cashews until completely smooth. As long as it’s blended completely smooth, you won’t need to strain it. However, if your blender is not all that powerful, strain the cashew milk so that you don’t have any gritty bits left in the ‘milk’. Add the cocoa powder, agave nectar, vanilla, cacao butter, salt and vodka and blend until incorporated. Pour into a martini shaker filled with ice and shake until chilled. Serve in martini glasses garnished with a few cacao nibs.
