Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 100 grams peanuts (roasted and unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams coconut flakes (lightly toasted)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (for mixing cornstarch)
Instructions
Begin by chopping the dark chocolate into small chunks and setting it aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer, but do not let it boil.
Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sea salt. Mix until the honey is fully dissolved and the spices are well incorporated.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate has melted completely, creating a smooth and rich mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the saucepan while stirring to avoid lumps.
Continue to cook the mixture over low heat for 2–3 minutes until it thickens into a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and let the mixture cool slightly.
Roughly chop the roasted peanuts and set aside for topping.
To assemble, divide the chocolate mixture evenly among six serving glasses or bowls.
Top each serving with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts and toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour if you prefer a cold dessert.
Enjoy your African Obsession!
