Place in the freezer for at least one hour to set. Slice into 16 pieces, and serve.

Raw Cacao’s Nourishing & Detoxifying Power
Raw cacao is an amazing superfood. It supports whole body health and detoxification in many ways. This simply means that it supports the organs in your body that naturally work to rid it of harmful chemicals, toxins, and compounds. Cacao encourages:
- Healthy Brain Function: Its flavonols cross the blood-brain barrier to support health, serotonin levels, blood flow, cognition, and mood. (1).
- Optimal Blood Pressure: Cacao’s nitric oxide is a vasodilator. By increasing the size of the vessels, it reduces the pressure in them. This has been found especially true in older adults and those with elevated blood pressure (2, 3).
- Better Energy & Sleep: One serving of cacao provides 100 mg of magnesium, ~25% of daily needs. Magnesium is typically deficient in adults. Adequate magnesium is associated with better energy, better sleep, fewer muscle cramps (including night cramps), and better overall health.
- Less Oxidative Stress: Cacao is an antioxidant powerhouse. It contains 300 different antioxidant chemical compounds and more than 20 times the antioxidant power of blueberries. And while other foods’ antioxidants diminish with time, cacao has demonstrated stability in samples over 75 years old (4)!
