Method
- Choose the route. For warm, put the cauliflower rice in a small stainless saucepan with 2 cups filtered water, bring to a boil, reduce to a steady simmer for 10 minutes, drain thoroughly, and cool until warm rather than hot. For cold, keep the cauliflower frozen and use frozen avocado chunks.
- Pour the homemade milk into the exact Ninja BN801 pitcher. Add the prepared cauliflower, avocado, 2 raw egg yolks, 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa, raw honey, sea salt, and optional properly prepared nut butter. Add the optional coconut oil or raw butter only for the warm route. Secure the lid.
- Blend on high for about 40 seconds. Stop and look through the pitcher. The mixture should be one even chocolate brown from top to bottom, without white cauliflower grains, green avocado ribbons, yellow yolk, or dry cocoa pockets.
- If a pocket remains above the blades, leave the machine off until the mixture settles, then blend again briefly. Taste and blend in the optional additional 1/2 tablespoon cocoa only if you want a darker cocoa flavor.
- For warm, pour the smooth mixture into the rinsed stainless saucepan and heat over medium-low, stirring often, until hot throughout but not simmering; pour into a heat-safe mug. For cold, pour straight into one large glass and serve immediately.
