  • 6 tablespoons cocoa
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar add 2 or 3 more for a sweeter filling

Instructions

  • Bring a pan of water to boil and add the 4 Manicotti pasta shells and simmer for 10 minutes
  • Drain and let pasta shells cool, making sure to prop them open with wadded up wax paper or paper towels or foil
  • When cooled - and just before filled with cream - remove wax paper, paper towels or foil.
  • For The Chocolate Cashew Filling:
  • To a blender or food processor, add soaked cashews and almond milk and pulse till creamy
  • Add cocoa, brown sugar, instant coffee and melted coconut oil and pulse till well incorporated
  • Spoon the cashew chocolate mix into an icing bag with nozzle of your choice or a sandwich bag with a tip cut off, and fill each cooled manicotti shell generously with cashew chocolate filling.
  • Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour
  • For The Chocolate Sauce:
  • Add coconut oil to a saucepan and add chopped chocolate - stirring vigorously till chocolate and coconut oil are melted. Add vanilla and spoon sauce over stuffed manicotti
  • Serve immediately - but the leftovers are just as good the next day.
