It sounds a little weird to have a recipe called chocolate base – but this is a very important recipe as so many other recipes that I post will build on this recipe 🙂

Ingredients:

2 cups cacao powder

1 Tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 cup cacao butter, melted

1 Tsp. cinnamon

3/4 – 1 cup agave nectar

1 Tsp. sea salt

(I have adjusted this recipe and replaced a 1/2 coconut oil with the cacao butter as I find too much coconut oil overwhelming.  I have also given you the option to reduce the sweetness of the recipe with just 3/4 cup agave instead of 1 cup.)

Method:

Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered  blender (or small processor is fine) – make sure the mixture is well combined.

Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for a few hours.

Makes about 2 cups.

After refrigeration, the base is ready to use in other recipes.

So lovely and velvety!
