It’s exciting to experience how quickly cacao can elevate a “normal” dessert into something truly special – from it’s deep chocolate flavor, to it’s incomparable health benefits. As the raw source of all chocolate, cacao goes tremendously well with creamy ingredients like blended nuts, super seeds like hemp, as well as many varieties of fruits, from berries and bananas, to pears and oranges. Or, you can simply whip up the quickest mousse that really shows off this tremendous superfood at its finest.
