Once you’ve tried raw cacao you won’t go back!
Melted in hot milk (dairy or non-dairy)
it tastes luxuriously rich and creamy, and you
can then sweeten it to your own taste with
whatever you fancy. If you’ve been sugar free for a
long time a tiny amount of sweetener or just the
sweetness from coconut or rice milk will do.
I’m lactose intolerant so I make it with lactose free
milk and a spoonful of Maple or Rice syrup. (hmmmm heaven!)
You can find raw Cacao in most health food shops or online.
It can be expensive but a little goes a long way. ‘It’s very intense
in flavour so you’ll only need 1-2 tablespoons of cacoa shavings
or ‘nibs’ in hot milk depending on how chocolatey you like it.
When you give up sugar pretty much every chocolate product
in the supermarkets is a no-no so this is a real treat.
You CAN have your chocolate – and drink it.
Enjoy!
