A lovely alternative to conventional chocolate spreads. We used Dr. Bronner’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil to make our batch. It’s quite amazing when you first open the jar.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of Dr. Bronner’s Virgin Coconut Oil
1 cup of cacao powder
3/4 cup of organic powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
1/2 cup of hulled hemp seeds
Directions:
With an electric mixer in a medium size bowl add all the ingredients except the hemp seeds. Start the electric mixer on the lowest setting to keep the powdered sugar and cacao powder from going everywhere. Once the mixture is well blended, increase the speed to medium for 2 minutes or until very smooth. Add hemp seeds in the last 30 seconds.
Yum!
I was born in 1965 in Nuremberg, Germany, to a German mother and a Turkish father. Growing up in a blend of two rich cultures gave me a deep appreciation for food, farmers, and the traditions that nourish us—though I didn’t fully realize this until much later in life.
So how did I end up as a health store owner?
Well, life has a funny way of guiding us toward our purpose.
In my early 20s, I worked in export for a well-known sports company in Germany. But I had a dream of living abroad. That dream led me first to Ireland, then to Australia, and eventually back to Ireland—where I’ve made my home ever since.
