Cacao Recipes - Raw Chocolate Recipes As Superfood Desserts!
Cacao recipes are a great way to eat unprocessed, raw chocolate that still has all of its nutrients, rich flavors, and superfood properties still intact.
There is nothing like homemade chocolate recipes, especially when they are raw and alive with superfood goodness! I was introduced to raw chocolate many years ago and I began using it in desserts. The taste is much richer than cooked chocolate powders, sometimes the aroma reminds me of fine wine.
These cacao recipes are a few of our favorites that we make on special occasions. I personally like to save my raw chocolate experiences for times of celebration as oppose to consuming it on a regular basis. It is a definite mood up lifter, as well as stimulant, which can end up reeking havoc on your "mood" if you do too much. It is therefore good to eat superfoods like cacao in moderation.
Raw chocolate can be great when you want to make a decadent cake, or just simply enjoy a cup of hot cacao "mocha" on a rainy day. These are some our homemade recipes we make for birthdays, parties or other festive occasions for an extra special chocolaty treat.

Chocolate is a popular treat and custom around the world. But, there is nothing quite like creating chocolate recipes from the source of ALL chocolate the cacao bean!
These recipes are perfect when you want a special sweet treat. We love to use all the

These well loved cacao recipes will open your heart and add a touch of bliss and clarity to your day. You will begin see why they call cacao "food for the gods."
Enjoy as a meal instead of eating it for "dessert", for these recipes are food for the body and the heart.
Again, cacao is potent... be careful not to overdue it! In ancient times it was revered as a sacred food, consumed during ritual and ceremony only. I like to eat it for one or two days max, then I give it a rest for at least a few weeks.
As an alternative in these recipes, you can substitute carob powder for the cacao, if raw chocolate is not your thing.
