3 Ingredient Chocolate Sauce

Recipe By Aileen Cox Blundell

If I could recommend just trying one thing on this site it would be this recipe. It’s easy and it is so delicious and the best part is that it is chocolate sauce that’s good for you! It only has 3 ingredients, it takes less than 10 minutes to make and can be used on so many things. Oscar loves a dessert of strawberries dipped in chocolate or alternatively banana is also a favourite.

Ingredients

8 Pitted Medjool Dates
1 400ml Tin Full Fat Coconut Milk
4 Tablespoons Raw Cacao

Method

Add all of your ingredients to a blender. Turn to a high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth silky chocolately sauce.
Pour into ramekin dishes and leave to set in the fridge overnight – it magically turns into a delicious chocolate mousse!

Recipe Notes

Store in closed jars for approx 1 week in your fridge or place into moulds and freeze. Be warned though, these melt very quickly so can be very messy if you give to your baby like this. Blend freeze dried raspberries or some organic mint extract (available in health stores) for some added yummyness.

Working + parenting + thinking WTF to make for din

Working + parenting + thinking WTF to make for dinner is harder than I thought it would be!⁠

🏆 MY NO.1 WAY TO CREATE A FOODIE 🎉🎉🎉 -

🏆 MY NO.1 WAY TO CREATE A FOODIE 🎉🎉🎉 - Get them involved in the kitchen. I know, you've heard it all before BUT, these are the actual ways it worked for me with all 3 of my babies. Proven methods 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻=3 Foodies⁠
⁠
1️⃣When they can hold a wooden spoon, hold your baby in your arms and let them stir the flour. Cooking becomes your thing together.⁠
⁠
2️⃣Once they can stand on a chair beside you, let them roll the dough. Spoon batter into a mini muffin tin or stir the ingredients of your veggie fritters. ⁠
⁠
3️⃣As they get older, teach them how to cook their favourite dinner. Oscars is Veggie Burritos or Sticky Tofu and he helps me to get ingredients, measure and taste. The tasting is the most important part he says and he always says 'hmmmm I think it might be missing something.....' 'oh yes, a little extra coriander Mom'.⁠
⁠
4️⃣Show them the secret ingredients you use in your cooking - Oscar has always known the veggies that are in my Hidden Veggie Pasta Sauce (which is linked in my bio to this post). He knows he doesn't really like aubergine but that its in the sauce and thats o.k because he "REALLY loves the sauce" 🤣⁠
⁠
5️⃣As they reach 4 and 5 you can also get them to try raw veggies as you cook. I started doing this as a sneaky thing from the rest of the house...ouuuu try this pepper and don't tell Dylan because he will want one too 🤣🤣🤣⁠
⁠
6️⃣Finally get them to help serve, or if the food is hot direct the serve 🎬 Everyone gets a portion of everything. How many carrots should Daddy get? How many carrots should Oscar get? You will be surprised! Sometimes Oscar has chosen to have 1 tiny spear of broccoli and sometimes he's chosen to have 3!⁠
⁠
7️⃣When they pick whats on their plate they are in control of their food and it helps. It really really helps. ⁠

Hope these tips help you. ⁠

Baby Led Weaning Lunch - Quinoa Falafels in a Bowl

Baby Led Weaning Lunch - Quinoa Falafels in a Bowl of Yum 🥑 Double tap if you have been looking for recipes to start weaning your baby ♥︎♥︎♥︎⁠
⁠
👌 These Quinoa Falafels are amazingly delicious and the most perfect way to start weaning your baby.
⁠
👶🏻 Served with hummus, soft avocado and roasted veggies, your baby can easily pick everything up and put to their mouth on their own.

💖 This is definitely one to save!

MWAH! Aileen xoxoxo

For the falafels
drizzle of rapeseed oil
2 medium white onions, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
800g (28oz) tinned chickpeas 400g (2 cups) cooked quinoa
2 heaped tsp ground cumin
2 heaped tsp ground coriander juice 2 lemons
4 tbsps chickpea flour (also called gram flour) or plain flour

For the tahini dressing
250ml (1 cup) Greek yogurt 125ml (½ cup) light tahini
juice 1 lemon
small bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped

For the bowls
60g (¼ cup) cooked brown rice (per bowl)
4 roasted red peppers
2 roasted courgettes
hummus
2 avocados, sliced
120g (4oz) goat cheese, crumbled

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Gently fry the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for a minute or so more until cooked but not browned.

Add the cooked onion and garlic and the rest of the falafel ingredients to a food processor and process until the chickpeas are broken up. Be care not to over-process, as this will make the mixture too wet.

Use an ice-cream scoop to portion the mixture out onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Then bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

While the falafels are cooking, make the tahini sauce by mixing all of the ingredients together.

Serve the falafels in a bowl with a little rice, some roasted veggies, hummus and sliced avocado and a small amount of feta cheese.
