Equipment

  • 1 High Speed Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cup cempedak seeds approx 240 grams
  • ½ cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1½ to 2 cup coconut milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the seeds

  • Boil the seeds for 40 minutes, until they soften.
  • After boiling, some of the hard outer shell may come off. You don’t need to worry too much about peeling every bit, especially if you have a high-speed blender. Just remove any loose bits.

Blend the ingredients

  • Add the boiled seeds, cacao or cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, coconut milk, and salt into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth. Depending on the strength of your blender, you may need to add more or less coconut milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Adjust the consistency. If the spread is too thick, add more coconut milk little by little.

Store and serve

  • Transfer the spread to an airtight container and store in the fridge. It will thicken further as it cools. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
