⅔ cup applesauce, drained

Instructions

Prep

Prep applesauce. Measure out the applesauce into a paper towel in a bowl, and allow some of the water of the applesauce to get soaked up by the paper towel.
Prep chocolate. Add the chocolate chips to a microwave safe cup - I use a pyrex measuring cup - and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until creamy.

Make chocolate apple cake

Add ingredients to blender: Add the melted chocolate and applesauce to a blender. I use a small jar for this recipe because it only makes 5 small (2-inch) cakes. Double the recipe if you want to use a larger blender.
Blend. Blend until creamy. You can also stir the ingredients together in a bowl, but the texture won't be as smooth.
Pour. Pour the chocolate apple cake batter into your mold or muffin cup pan, or even into round cake tins. The cakes will be frozen so it is important you use a container that will be easy to remove the cakes from. Don't use a metal pan without parchment paper or you'll never get them out - the end resulting cake is still slightly sticking and malleable.
Freeze. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight - however long it takes to get the cakes out of your container. I used silicon molds and I needed to freeze at least 2 hours before I could remove the cakes undamaged so I'd recommend overnight.

Serve & Store

Dust the cakes with cocoa powder or drizzle with your favorite frosting lines. Serve chilled. Store them refrigerated in a sealed container, not touching, for 2 days. Freeze long-term, not touching, in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
