Name of Recipe: Chocolate Yoghurt Dessert
Number of People: approx 3 child-size desserts
Ingredients:
Small handful pumpkin seeds
Small handful almonds
Large handful dates
1 banana
1 dessertspoon tahini
1 heaped dessertspoon cocoa
1 cup yoghurt
Maple syrup to taste if needed
Preparation:
Grind pumpkin seeds, almonds and dates on speed 9, 15 seconds, or until finely chopped. Add banana, tahini, cocoa and yoghurt and blend until smooth, speed 5.
Check for taste and consistency. Sweeten to taste if necessary.
Tips/Hints: I make a variation of this often as a treat after dinner, hence the approximate measurements. Sometimes it's thick, sometimes it's more like a drink, always delicious and always enjoyed.
I was going to add a pear or two, but they weren't quite ripe. Apples are also good.

Amy - I made a version of this using linseeds instead of pumpkin seeds and pineapple instead of banana. I did sweeten it but mum said it was still a bit tart for her tastes. SD liked it though.I think I will try again with the banana, or maybe apples or pears. I just had some pineapple that I needed to use up today.
rostess - My son LOVED this. After a small taste he ran inside and grabbed a spoon from the drawer so he could have some more! I found it a bit too sweet for my liking and the taste of the tahini a little bit strong so I would reduce these next time.
