Raw chocolate is one of my absolute favourites! Here’s my friend Kashmira Divine’s recipe ❤️ the health benefits of this are worth making it again and again...cacao is fantastic for hormone balance, it’s full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, improves digestion, lowers stress, great for mental health and cognition, even may help support better heart health and blood sugar levels... enjoy!
The response to my story yesterday was a landslide! You guys want chocolate recipes. ⠀
⠀
This is one of my all time faves! ⠀
⠀
200g raw cacao butter (I prefer cacao buttons)�60g raw cacao powder�100g pure maple syrup (or Coconut Magic coconut nectar)�1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or fresh vanilla caviar)�1/8 tsp fine sea salt⠀
PLUS�20-25 drops dōTERRA peppermint oil⠀
�Chop cacao butter roughly with a knife on a chopping board, to approx. 1-2cm cubes, (or use buttons). Place cacao butter into small glass bowl (or small pot if you don’t have a dehydrator).⠀
⠀
Melt cacao butter in dehydrator at 47C (or on the stove over a VERY low heat - do NOT boil. Remove from heat as soon as it it liquid).�⠀
Add remaining ingredients to a mixing bowl and when the cacao butter is melted, pour it into the mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix well ensuring no lumps. ⠀
⠀
Pour chocolate into lined dish/baking tray or chocolate moulds or onto a tray for a thin chocolate bark. (you need bark for the peppermint brownies)�⠀
Place in the freezer immediately to set, as it will separate if you set it at room temperature.⠀
⠀
OR for an easier version just use coconut oil instead of cacao butter (make sure to melt/liquefy it first and remember it won’t set in QLD temps unless it is in the freezer at all times)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
