- In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed sweet potato, pitted dates, vanilla essence (or spices), coconut milk, cacao powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If needed, add more coconut milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Once the mixture is smooth, add the peanut butter (or your chosen nut/seed butter) to the blender.
- Blend again until the peanut butter is fully incorporated into the mixture, creating a rich and velvety texture.
- Taste the spread and adjust the sweetness or flavoring as desired. You can add more dates for extra sweetness or more cacao powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
