RAW ADAPTOGENIC CACAO GEMS

Raw Adaptogenic Cacao Gems   2 cups cacao butter, chopped 1 cup cacao powder 1/3 cup maple syrup 1 pinch sea salt 1 dash of vanilla extract 1 tablespoon lavender buds 1 tablespoon Lions Mane 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1 tablespoon Cordyceps   In a double broiler melt down the cacao butter and just before melted add the cacao powder and maple syrup.  Mix in a pinch of sea salt and vanilla, then remove from heat. Divide into 2 bowls in order to separately flavor.  In one batch add the lions mane and lavender buds.  In the other bowl mix in the cinnamon, cayenne and cordyceps.   Using any mold of choice, begin to fill the molds with melted cacao mixtures and refrigerate until firm.  You could also pop it in the freezer (I usually do) if you’re really anxious to give it a try!    If you want to add some garnishes, once molds are filled you would put them on before the fridge or freezer. I used edible flower petals on the lavender lions mane.  For the spicy cordyceps combo I used coconut sugar and flaked sea salt on top. IN-JOY!

POWER CACAO ✨

These decedent treats are charged with a medicinal mushroom called Agaricus Blazei.  Originating in the Brazilian rainforest, this adaptogen has a reputation for inspiring longevity and vitality in its devout users. Used for many years in Traditional Medicine, many turn to the mushroom for its ability to help support a strong immune system.  Infusing cacao with this very special adaptogen creates a potent bite of supreme pleasure and nourishment.  Enjoy!   RECIPE: 1 cup raw cacao butter 1 cup raw cacao powder 1/3 cup coconut sugar 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon agaricus blazei Flaked sea salt Dried flower petals   Melt cacao butter in a pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in cacao powder, coconut sugar, maple syrup, agaricus blazei, and extract until thickened.   Sprinkle sea salt and dried petals into a silicone ice cube tray or your choice of chocolate mold. Drop spoonfuls of melted chocolate into the molds.  Place in the refrigerator or freezer until completely hardened. Store in the refrigerator to keep chocolates from melting.
