Recipe: Salt & pepper maca drinking chocolate

The maca gives this chocolate drink a subtle caramel undertone, while the black pepper adds a spicy umami flavour.


Ingredients

¼ cup raw cacao
2 tbsp (rough chunks) raw cacao butter
6 fresh pitted Medjool dates
2 cans coconut cream
2 tsp maca powder
½ tsp Maldon salt
½ tsp black pepper

Method

1. Place all the ingredients in a saucepan on a high heat.

2. Bring to a boil and whisk continuously until the dates are no longer chunky and the chocolate is thick and completely smooth.

3. Pour into a mug or short tumbler.

4. Serve with more salt and pepper sprinkled on top.
