Ingredients - Chocolate Sauce

  • 7 tbs ground SEM Ceremonial Cacao
  • 6 tbs cacao butter
  • 2 tbs coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
  • Conservative pinch of salt
  • 3 tbs maple or agave syrup (or honey) to taste
  • 2 - 4 tbs of coconut cream, optional

Method

First cut & arrange your fruit on a beautiful platter, leaving room for your cacao in the middle. If you’re not ready to eat it immediately, rub any fruit that brown quickly (eg banana or apple) lightly with half a lemon. Pour a healthy serving of Chocolate dipping sauce and viola, your very own festive season chocolate fondue!

Chocolate Dipping Sauce

  1. Melt your cacao butter & coconut oil gently in a double boiler on low (I use a small pyrex jug in a small pot).
  2. Add all other ingredients, apart from cacao & stir in.
  3. Take off heat, add the cacao, stir any lumps, then whisk til smooth.
  4. This can be served warm or cold. It will thicken more, as it cools, but remain dippable! We like to serve it warm in winter & cool in summer.
  5. Lush out & enjoy!

In many traditions, the Spirit of Cacao is often referred to as a Goddess. However, in Spanish, cacao is referred to as "el cacao", making it masculine. So which is it?

It’s the second harvest festival and themes of balance and harmony inspire this moment on the Wheel of the Year.

Is all cacao the same? Will a powder give you the same buzz and benefits as a ground block and vice versa?

This Black Tahini Dipping Sauce our current favourite, its a super delicious treat that's easy to make and even easier to snack on!
