This decadent, 3-ingredient chocolate fruit dip is light and silky with just a touch of sweetness–perfect for a dessert or anytime a chocolate craving strikes.

When it comes to Paleo desserts, using quality raw cacao powder creates a product that is second to none and has impressive health benefits to boot. Cacao, not to be confused with cocoa, is a superfood that’s rich in manganese, chromium and zinc and more antioxidants than blueberries. It will cost a little more than your average chocolate (which often has preservatives and milk added to it), but is well worth it. Luckily, cacao powder is conveniently available online and in most health food stores.

In this velvety chocolate fruit dip recipe, cacao is mixed with thick coconut cream and pure maple syrup until fluffy, producing a whipped confection that’s perfect for dipping. No need for fancy blenders or food processors–all you need is a hand mixer and a mixing bowl. Yep, you’re just three ingredients away from pure chocolate heaven. Any and all fruits pair with this dip, from pineapple to figs to everything in between. I recommend choosing seasonal fruits for the best flavor and most nutrients. You’ll get a taste of chocolate and coconut in this dip; if you prefer a deeper chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of cacao powder.
