Raw Chocolate Cacoa Sauce

1 cup raw cacoa beans, powdered in high speed blender
1 - 1 1/2 cups agave nectar
1/2 cup raw cacoa butter
salt to taste


Powder cacoa beans in high speed blender (or coffee grinder) and set aside. Add agave and cacoa butter and blend until butter has melted. (5 minutes or more) Add cacoa powder and blend until mixed. Check seasoning and add salt.


Keeps at room temperature, but will harden. To soften, place in dehydrator for a few hours. Alternatively, in a bowl within a bowl of warm water, stirring until all sauce is warmed.


Add a touch a vanilla extract for a vanilla-chocolate sauce. Add a touch of peppermint extract for a chocolate-mint sauce.
