Pinch of raw
cacoa nibs, or other add - ons like shredded coconut or crushed banana chips — whatever you like
To make this a raw chocolate you would need to use
raw cacoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder, but again this is optional and cocoa could be interchanged here is preferred.
update: I LOVE using some *
cacoa butter in here as well — just a little really intensifies the heavenly chocolate flavor.
Whisk
in cacoa powder, syrup or stevia and vanilla.
I think this cake is divine
with cacoa nibs (a subtle chocolatey nutty flavor) as you suggested from a previous post and I made the second batch with the topping (just as good without it).
I'm not sure of the evidence on
cacoa beans, but I would guess they are similar to cocoa / cacao as discussed here, possibly even better as they are less processed!
However, for me the costs effectiveness and simplicity of using coconut butter along with the fact that this chocolate is still so very good lead me to decide against
using cacoa butter.
Made
from cacoa powder, almonds, pecans, dates, unsweetened coconut and vanilla extract
I could not
find cacoa nibs and I was out so I used some mini chocolate chips.
The nutritional benefits of raw
cacoa products include: being a source of beta - carotene, amino acids (protein), omega - 3s, calcium, zinc, iron, copper, sulphur, potassium, and one of the best food sources of stress - relieving magnesium.
Haleiwa Bowls: I read it's the best acai bowl on Oahu... As it's in the heart of the North Shore, it's super convenient to go here, but as a chocolate lover, I liked other bowls (with
more cacoa bits;)-RRB- more!
I have
made Cacoa Chia Seed Pudding before but never with avocado — I am going to try this as Miss Two will not eat avocado

You can also find
pure cacoa powder in some of the healthy grocery stores but it's expensive ($ 9 for 8 oz.)
Melt the cocoa butter and
cacoa liquor and then mash / blend all ingredients together ensuring no lumps remain mix the broken walnut pieces through last, if using.
The only thing I added was 1/3 cup of sugar — it was nowhere near sweet enough for us and our tastes (maybe because I used a really
great cacoa powder?
Add cacoa powder and chia seeds and mix well once more.

Studies have shown that
when cacoa is consumed longterm, it protects the skin from sunburn — one study found that women who consumed cacao daily for 12 weeks experienced 15 - 25 % less redness after UV exposure!

But remember, the
more cacoa is processed, the more flavanols are destroyed, so the best source of chocolate antioxidants comes from dark chocolate.
Stir
in cacoa powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt until thoroughly mixed.
I also use a blend
of cacoa and carob powder (1/4 cup of each).
I put raw pumpkin seeds, coconut, gogi berries and
raw cacoa nibs as add ins.
Cacoa powder comes from the cacao bean and is raw, unprocessed and extremely rich in nutrients and health benefits.

Hi ella, I eat alot of foods high in oxalic acid, particularly spinach, beetroot,
cacoa and tahini.
I added some fresh blueberries to the top of one half whilst cooking and
cacoa nibs to the other — both work really well — I like the juiciness and extra mositure the blueberries add, can see this is going to be a regular make.
