• 6 large chopped dates
• 1 tbsp peanut butter

After blending:

• Freeze for 25 minutes until set

Why we love it:

✅ Made with just a handful of real, wholesome ingredients

✅ Sweet, fudgy, and super satisfying without being overly indulgent

✅ Perfect for when you’re craving chocolate but want to avoid the sugar crash

“No big nutrition claims, just big truffle energy. One bite and you’ll be surprised how chickpeas transform into a decadent, fudgy dessert. Try it once and we dare you not to go ‘wait, what!?,” says Sameera.
