Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup heavy cream *
- 8 each prunes *
- 8 each marshmallows *
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Optional Serving Ideas
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop collagen powder
- graham crackers
- pretzels
- fresh berries
- marshmallows
Instructions
- Add the heavy cream, pitted prunes, and marshmallows to a microwave safe dish. Heat on high in 30 second intervals until marshmallows begin to expand (usually about 1 minute tops).
- Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to mix ingredients together into a dip consistency. Alternatively, you can also pour the ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender to process as well.
- Scrape down the sides as needed, add in the cocoa powder, then process one more time for a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Serve warm with fresh fruits, graham crackers, marshmallows, or simply on a spoon!
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2 to 3 days for best quality (if it even lasts that long!)
Notes
Recipe Notes:
- For those with a dairy allergy or following a plant-based diet, use a plant-based heavy cream made from soy or coconut.
- To increase the protein of this dip (and stretch the serving size), mix in vanilla Greek yogurt or a scoop of chocolate protein powder depending on your audience. Yogurt works great for kids, whereas protein powder or collagen is perfect for the adult crowd!
- To reap the full benefits of California Prunes, aim to use 8 prunes per recipe. If you’re still adjusting to swapping with fruits, ease into this with 6.
- For a less sweet (and less added sugar) result, start with 8 marshmallows.
