Kelly’s Macadamia Whipped Cream (optional)
Combine the chocolate, agave, carob, coconut oil, sesame seeds, and germinated almonds in a blender and whir until very smooth; transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
Clean out the blended, then add the cashews and water and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Fold into the chocolate mixture, until it is very smooth.
Spoon the mixture into a square baking dish, preferably glass, and smooth the tip. Refrigerate for 1 hour or more. Cut into squares, remove from the dish, and serve toped with sliced or whole berries and mint leaves. Add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
