Makes 2 Minit cakes, 1 Large cake, or a dozen single serve cupcake sized cakes
Ingredients:
3 cups butternut squash (about 1 neck of a med. butternut), chopped and peeled
5 long carrots
3 scoops of my Digestive Support Protein
3/4 cups unsweetened chocolate (I used Santa Barbara Chocolate – 15% off: lilsipper15)
3 Tbsp organic Sunbutter
1 1/2 scoops Vital Proteins Gelatin (vegans use 1/4 cup coconut oil)
Method:
1. Boil squash and carrots until soft (about 10 min), drain water, then blend with remaining ingredients while veggies are still hot / warm. If you want to add a sweetener like honey do do now.
2. Pour puree into desired lined pan(s) and refrigerate at least 5 hours (you can also freeze to speed up the process). Top with shaved chocolate if desired and slice.
Notes:
*Store in refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze up to 1 month.
* If freezing, be sure to slice / cut into smaller pieces before freezing so you don’t get one large solid cake.
