This Chocolate Moment is Worth Savouring ๐„‡

Okay, studies have us convinced that chocolate appears to increase positive mood. I donโ€™t think many of us need convincing. But I do believe this to be true particularly when it is eaten mindfully.

Remorseless Dark Chocolate Recipe โ€ฆ

Monk fruit powder is so sweet & versatile. It doesnโ€™t raise blood sugar, yet I find it super sweet with the bitter aftertaste of other sweeteners. Go lightly with this delectable antioxidant treat โค๏ธŽ

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup organic cacao butter (roughly chopped)

1/2 cup raw organic cacao powder

1/2 tsp Organic Monk Fruit (adjust to your taste)

1 - 2 tbsp organic coconut milk

2 drops of (pacificscents.com.au) Sweet Fennel Organic Food Grade essential oil

USE CODE: LEANNE at checkout for 10% discount on all orders ๐Ÿ€

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place the cocoa butter in a double boiler & heat on medium to high, gently bringing the water to a simmer, allowing most of the butter to melt. Remove from heat as soon as the last bits melt. Immediately mix in the cacao powder, monk fruit powder, coconut milk & sweet fennel essential oil. Donโ€™t let your chocolate set or it will be impossible to pour. Pour into moulds or ice-cube trays and allow to set in the fridge. I store mine in the freezer - a must in summer.

๐Ÿ— Use sweet fennel for its digestive stimulation, carminative & anti-inflammatory properties.
