Ingredients:
1 can Coconut milk (full fat)
1 can Coconut cream
½ cup Oat Milk
1/8 tsp Mint extract
18 pieces Soaked pitted dates
½ cup Cocoa Powder
¼ cup Iron Vegan Athlete's Blend - Chocolate

Scoop out the coconut cream and carefully the coconut milk. Discard the clear liquid from the coconut milk and reserve. You can use this to make a great smoothie. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Blend the soaked dates with the oat milk. It should look like a paste.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl with the coconut cream/milk, fold the ingredients with a spatula. Then with a hand mixer, whip until looks creamy and smooth. Adjust the flavour to your taste.
Transfer to a freezer-safe container with lid and cover it with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 2-4 hours, or until firm.Allow it to thaw at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving.
You can slice a banana, add one or two or three (why not?) scoops of ice cream, strawberries, more cacao nibs, peanut butter, or any kind of topping. Enjoy! This is a great post-workout treat! You can also use this mixture as a frosting for cakes and cupcakes. Or, chill in the fridge for 20 mins, and you can have a tremendous post-workout mousse!
