Recipe for Divine Raw Chocolate
- 12-22-2009
- Categorized in: Healthy Recipes
Ingredients
- 4 handfuls of cashews – soak in filtered water for 2 hours
- 4 tablespoons of agarve syrup (a raw honey can be substituted here)
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 4 tablespoons of cacao butter
Directions
Blend the cashew nuts to a smooth paste, adding a little water if needed to keep mixture blending.
Add the other ingredients slowly at a low speed. Taking care in blending as this mixture might get warm ( thus destroying good nutrients)
If you leave the cacao butter out on the bench for the same amount of time you are soaking the nuts – it will be soft enough to easily blend in. However, if you are not strictly 100% raw foods, then you may melt the butter in a pan at a low heat.
Once smooth, pour and spread into tray and put into fridge for a few hours to set.
Cut into squares and put into airtight container keeping in the fridge.
I am not sure how long this keeps as it never lasts more than a few days at our house. The beauty of this recipe is that you cannot eat more than a square or two at one time as it packed with nutrients.
This is not a super sweet recipe – nor is it rich - It turns out like a very creamy ‘milk’ chocolate and melts in your mouth.
Play around with the quantities of agarve and cacao powder for sweetness or intensity of flavour.
