By Omid Jaffari

- ¼ cup Pecan milk
- ¼ cup Coconut Sugar
- ¼ cup Cacao Nibs
- ½ tbsp ginger root, peeled & sliced
- 3 cardamom pods, crushed
- 3 tbsp Cacao Powder
- 1 tsp Cacao Butter
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil/Butter
- 1 tsp Lucuma Powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Step 1Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Step 2Line up six small espresso glasses with Clingfilm.
- Step 3Pour the mixture in and dehydrate for 12 hours.
- Step 4Gently take the Canelés out and dehydrate for a further 12 hours before serving.
