Recipe Notes

  • Cocoa powder note
    I love this dessert with a rich, deep chocolate flavour that isn’t overly sweet. If you prefer a lighter chocolate taste, start with ¼ cup, blend, then taste. You can add more cocoa gradually until it’s just right for you.
  • Collagen note
    Collagen is optional. I add it for an extra protein boost and added nourishment, and it blends in without affecting the flavour or texture.
