Guest Chef Recipe: Cacao Sweets by Amy Webster of Simply Raw

These lovely little sweets are the purest creation of homemade chocolate; an enchantment to be savoured in small bites! It’s totally delicious and versatile.

Equipment: Bowl, whisk and molds

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup cacao butter, melted
• ¼ cup agave syrup
• ½ cup cacao powder
• 1 pinch Himalayan crystal salt

Directions:

1. Mix all liquid ingredients in a bowl with a small whisk, to a very smooth consistency.
2. Add cacao powder and pinch of salt and mix well.
3. If needed, taste and add either agave syrup or pure cacao to reach the desired flavour.
4. At this stage, you may add your choice of aromas, such as a drop of essential oil of orange, ginger, cinnamon, mint or lavender.
5. Using a little spoon, fill small candy or ice cube molds.

Raw Chef Tips:

• Place in refrigerator to set.
• A few hours later, the sweets are ready to be removed from the molds!

Best if kept in the refrigerator.

Note From Karen: 7th April 2011

Welcome to our April issue and an especially warm welcome if you’re new to Raw Food DIRECT as I know so many of you are.

We are still in the beginning stages of what we want The Raw Food Directory to be, so I’m asking for your help this month. I’d love it if you could pass on this eZine to anyone that you think would be interested in knowing about the Directory – especially raw business owners as we want to let the world know about them! Details of how they can advertise for fr*ee can be found at the very bottom of the page.

This issue we’re getting all chocolate-y! For the longest time raw foodies thought that chocolate Easter treats were going to be off the menu forever, but as this issue clearly illustrates, nothing could be further from the truth.

And hot off the press, my good friend and colleague, Steve Prussack of Raw Vegan Radio, has today released a fantastic series of over one hundred exclusive “interviews with the Masters”. This package is truly fabulous on its own, but he’s added lots of great extras too, including audiobooks, eBooks, videos, a 21-day detox program (which is brilliant) and so much more! I *highly* recommend this program (and I honestly do not recommend everything that comes across my desk – but this is very special indeed and at a great price). This program is launching TODAY, and there’s an early-bird special which ends next week. Check it out! >>

Wishing you a wonderful April!

Abundantly yours,

Karen
