Cocoa powder uses? help! page

[LilMike]

I bought a small tub of cocoa powder from whole foods and now after trying it I realize how long it is going to last me.


I've been sprinkling a VERY small amount on my scrambled eggs and topping it with berries.


Please share your favorite uses for cocoa powder so I can get rid of this stuff.


Thanks

I'll admit that I still sin with whey protein powder. My recipe these days is


Whey protein

Coconut milk

Shredded coconut

100% cocoa powder

Flax or chia seeds

Raw eggs

Cinnamon

Pureed fruit or a sweetener like xylitol or stevia (more sinning!)


Anyway that's what I do with it. I bet it would work well with coconut milk on its own, as I really like the bitter taste as long as there is something else along with it.

My wife makes almond flour brownies and uses cocoa powder in it, as well as in milk shakes, for chocolate milk, and fruit smoothies.

i make "fudge" 1-2tbsp of cocoa, 1 packet of stevia & 1/4c full fat coconut milk. throw in some frozen blueberries if you like. it is decadent! /chocoholic

Coconut oil bark is fantastic!


1/2 cup CO

1/4 cup cocoa powder

splash of vanilla

2 tbsp honey, or maple syrup or poison of your choice

(This leaves it slightly bitter for me, but taste as you go as you may need less.)


Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I like toasted hazelnuts)


Pour into small container and chill until firm. Cut and enjoy!!!

lil_earthmomm, how much coconut oil do you put in your recipe?

[lil_earthmomma]

Sorry 1/2 cup coconut oil (CO)

@lil_earthmomm- I just made the CO bark. Its deliciously lethal. It banished my chocolate cravings. Ive had to store it in the cupboard until I pass my fatloss plateau


mmm..instead of CO, I used the coconut oil-ghee recipe on mda (which tasted & smelled like caramel). Thanks for the recipe!

i have had the same question as i stare at the giant canister of cocoa powder. now i need to find coconut oil and make this delicious treat above. tried using stevia instead of honey?

[Mirrorball]

I make coconut bark without stevia OR honey. It's good, try it! Not sweet at all, but good. I mix two parts of coconut oil with one part of cocoa powder by weight.
