Cocao photo by Quinn-SThis cacao chocolate is so delicious and melt-in-your-mouth, you won’t be able to stop after the first bite! Please remember that since it contains coconut oil instead of cacao butter, it needs to be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. As if there weren't enough reasons to whip up this super-delicious recipe, it makes great chocolate chips to use in raw cookies as well!

Ingredients (serves 3)

  • 1/3 cup cacao powder, sifted

  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (about 3 ounces)

  • 1/8 tsp Celtic Sea Salt®

  • 2 Tbsp agave nectar

Directions

  • Sift the cacao powder into a bowl and set aside.

  • Mix the coconut oil, salt and agave nectar with a fork.

  • Mix the coconut oil mixture with the cacao powder with a fork or whisk until smooth. Pour into chocolate molds and set in the fridge or freezer to set. For chocolate chips, pour into a small five-inch dish and chill.

Eco Tip

Lower your thermostat temperature in winter and raise it in summer. In winter, set your thermostat to 68 degrees or less during the day (and wear a sweater) and 55 degrees or less at night (and add an extra blanket). Wear less or use a fan instead of air-conditioning on all but the hottest summer days. When you must use air-conditioning, set your thermostat to 78 degrees or more.  More tips...
