Roughly chop the dates into small pieces.

Step 2

Chuck them, the maple syrup and water into a food processor and blend until smooth.

Step 3

Peel and add the avocado and cocoa. The easiest way to peel an avocado is to cut it in half, make a nick on each side and peel it like a banana.

Step 4

Blend again until creamy.

Step 5

Quick taste test - if you’d like it a little sweeter than add that tablespoon of maple syrup and quickly blend again.

Step 6

Now garnish with berries of your choice, raspberries for example. Leave it in the fridge for an hour or so to cool.
