Cacao Powder, Organic Cold Pressed
Organic cold-pressed cacao powder brings a deep chocolate flavor and dark color to baking and drinks. The fine powder blends into wet ingredients rather than supplying the crunch of cacao nibs.
Whisk it with a little warm liquid before adding the rest of your milk or water for cocoa. It also works in smoothies, oatmeal and the cherry-almond rice pudding below; adjust sweetness separately to suit the dish.
