Very yummy
I actually made this from the recipe book that came with my blender and it is slightly different, calls for six oz of bitter sweet chocolate to be added. I wanted to avoid sugar, si I used just bitter and in place of the vanilla I added vanilla, liquid stevia and one or two more dates and it was delicious, but more of a pudding consistency, than sauce. Will have to give this one a try, as it seems it would be much easier.

Amazing!
One of the first recipes I made in my A3500 Vitamix. Delicious! Mistakenly put in freezer and hubby thought it was an ice cream. Scooped some out for the family - BOOM - frozen chocolate mousse!

Adding: gets thick in fridge
Couldn't see how to edit my previous review. The sauce thickens up in the fridge so give it maybe an overnight to thicken.

Very good
I used regular milk because that's all I had on hand. It was a bit bitter (maybe cashew milk is sweeter), so I added 1/4 tsp pure stevia extract powder, then it was perfect! It tastes like Hershey's chocolate syrup but it's thinner. Next time I make this I will try using less milk and a few more dates so it's thicker.
