Cacao or cocoa raw beans, crushed to nibs, superfoodI can't get enough chocolate – raw chocolate that is!  And my Super Simple Raw Chocolate Recipe  makes it even easier to make, and eat of course!

Raw chocolate is great for heart health, healthy skin, hair and nails, and can even help with weight loss!  It's a superfood, and actually really good for you! Therefore, no guilt necessary.

Indulge and enjoy!

Ingredients:

Directions:

Put boiling water in a bowl.  Put the cacao butter (how ever much chocolate you intend to make) in another bowl, then set that in the bowl with the boiling water.  This will ensure that the cacao is not heated above 116 degrees f, which is the point at which the molecular structure begins to change.  Thus, if it is heated to a temperature under 116, it is still considered raw.

Make sure that you break the cacao butter down into tiny bits, otherwise it will take ages to melt.  Once the butter is melted, pour in half the amount of chocolate powder.  So if you melted 2 cups of cacao butter, put in 1 cup of powder. 

Now put in that same amount of mesquite.  Mesquite meal is a traditional Native American food produced by gathering ripened seed-pods from the mesquite tree and grinding them into a fine powder.  Used as a staple food for centuries by desert dwellers, this high protein meal contains good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is rich in the amino acid lysine as well.  It has a sweet taste that will give your chocolate a kick.

Add as much agave nectar as you want to your own taste.  Agave nectar is an incredibly delicious natural sweetener that won't make your blood sugar levels spin out of control. It is actually the same plant that tequila comes from.

Now take a rubber ice cup tray (you can use a plastic one, but it can be difficult to get the chocolate out of) and load it up with chocolate.  Then put it in the freezer.

It should be ready to eat in about 30 minutes!
