Ingredients
- 400ml milk of choice
- 2 tsp agar agar
- 2 tbsp peanut butter* or nut butter of choice
- 30g cocoa powder
- 150g dark chocolate broken up into small pieces
- 40g granulated sugar**
- Pinch of salt
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a saucepan and add in the agar agar. Mix until completely dissolved, then place the pan over a medium-low heat.
- Add the peanut butter, cocoa, sugar, a pinch of salt and dark chocolate.
- Let the mixture cook until it thickens. Stir continuously to prevent it sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the mixture thickens, take off the heat and pour into a lined cake tin or moulds. Allow to cool before transferring into the fridge to set.
- Allow to set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- When ready to serve, dust with some cocoa powder. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Notes
* For a nut-free recipe, substitute with a seed butter (like tahini or sunflower seed butter) or regular butter.
** You can use as much or as little sugar as you like. You can give the mixture a taste while it's cooking and adjust to liking. Any kind of granulated sugar will work.
