This recipe is super easy to make, as as per usual for my recipes, very easy to alter and play with! You can mix this recipe by hand in large mixing bowl, or what I did here in the pictures, double the recipe and use a food processor.

Looking for a tasty, yet healthy treat? For me this is ALWAYS chocolate, and on my mission to cut out refined sugar from my diet, I am always searching for new ways to imbibe. Stepping away from the conventional notion of chocolate as a guilty pleasure laden with processed sugars, this delectable recipe offers a unique blend of rich flavor, nutritional benefits, and a pleasure-rich healthy experience. This raw chocolate, crafted from minimally processed cacao beans or in this case cacao powder, retains its natural goodness, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Beyond its heavenly taste, this chocolate brings a plethora of health benefits to the table. Rich in antioxidants, it supports heart health and may even contribute to enhanced cognitive function. The absence of refined sugar ensures that the natural sweetness of cacao shines through without the adverse effects associated with excessive sugar consumption. This tasty treat is also a good source of magnesium, iron, and fiber, making it a wholesome choice for those of you looking to satisfy your sweet tooth while nourishing your body. The versatility of raw chocolate extends beyond its health benefits, as it is unbelievably easy to experiment with innovative recipes. From incorporating superfoods like goji berries and chia seeds to infusing intriguing flavors such as lavender or chili, the raw chocolate landscape is a playground of creativity. You can roll the chocoalte into bite sized truffles or even roll out into a proper chocolate bar!

The appeal of raw chocolate extends beyond the realm of taste; it's a lifestyle choice that aligns with mindful consumption. As you become more conscious of the impact of your food choices on personal well-being and the environment, raw chocolate stands out as a sustainable and ethical option. You can enjoy making this at home or supporting brands that prioritize fair trade and ethical sourcing, such as Honey Mamas.

Get ready to treat your senses to the unbridled joy of raw chocolate, where every bite is a celebration of flavor, health, and the pure essence of indulgence.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Cacao powder

• 2 Tbsp.Almond butter, (can do 1/2 of this of tahini for a more rich flavor)

• 1 Tbsp coconut oil melted

• 3 Tbsp. Honey

• A pinch of sea salt

• Optional- extra cacao for dusting, rose, goji berries, shredded coconut, rose powder, herbs such as maca, Reishi, ashwagandha

Procedure

1. Add all ingredients to the food processor and pulse until combined. If the consistency is a bit too thin you can add more cacao powder, or a bit too thick add more almond butter or melted coconut oil, until a fudge like consistency is achieved.

2. Remove the chocolate, and place into a bowl. If you want to make balls, kneed dough with your hands until a nice large ball is formed. If you are wanting to make a chocolate bar then place onto a sheet of parchment paper and place another sheet on top and roll out to a even consistency.

3. If making balls, I like to dust them in various ingredients to add a bit of variety, such as rose powder, chopped almonds, or cacao powder.

4. Place into the fridge for atleast 30 minutes before serving.

5. Enjoy!
