    Healthy vegan chocolate fruit dip

    Fruit is the perfect snack to take to work or school, but sometimes it can be boring. I decided to make this chocolate dip when I was eating an apple one day and I was really craving something chocolatey. I often dip my apple slices in peanut butter, so I thought why not dip it in chocolate?

    This chocolate fruit dip is:

    This fruit dip only includes 5 healthy ingredients! You will need:

    • Cashews
    • Maple syrup
    • Cacao powder

    Softening the cashews

    Cashews create the base of this dip. In order to get a smooth and creamy chocolate dip, you’re going to need to soften the cashews. To do this, you can either soak them or boil them on the stove.

    If you choose to soak your cashews, cover them completely with water in a bowl for at least 4 hours. Soak them overnight to make the dip even smoother!

    If you’re eager to make this dip quickly and don’t want to wait for your cashews to soak, you can boil them on the stove. Just boil the cashews in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes.
