Passion reviewed by Chocolate Reviews

Rawr Passion is one of my personal favourites in our raw chocolate bar range. Although I’m not a huge fan of goji berries by themselves, combined with our chocolate and Madagascan vanilla the taste is just simply divine – chewy and fruity and chocolatey all in one go. And with all those whole gojis on top, it’s one of our most pretty and eye-catching bars.

So I was delighted when I saw this review for Rawr Passion on the Chocolate Reviews website. You can read the whole thing here, or have a skim of some of the things the lovely Lee had to say:

“Under the outer wrapping and inner foil there was a bar of chocolate that was more solid than I thought it’d be. Previously the raw chocolate I’ve reviewed was more Wispa-like in texture. This had a much greater density – which actually made it look and feel more like a “normal” bar of chocolate…Also there was a magnificent shine to it that I don’t previously recall as being present with the other raw bars of chocolate I’ve tried…..In terms of flavour: it’s mild, slightly sweet but with a nice smooth taste that belies its lack of processing. It’s very enjoyable.”

Raw Chocolate Crispy Cake

Raw Chocolate Crispy Cake

Summary: Raw chocolate crispy cakes, with not a cornflake in sight! Truly delicious.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dried coconut (flakes or dessicated)
  • 1 cup dates, soaked overnight and soak water kept
  • 1 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut butter
  • 1 vanilla bean, scraped
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Set the coconut butter to melt over a mug of hot water.
  2. Make the date paste. Put the soaked dates in your food processor with a little of the soak water and pulse. Continue to add small amounts of water and pulse until you achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency.
  3. Transfer the date paste to a mixing bowl. Add all of the other ingredients, including the melted coconut butter, and mix well.
  4. You should end up with a thick mixture. Add a little more of the date soak water if you feel it’s necessary, although you’re not aiming for stickiness.
  5. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop up the mixture and press it into the scoop using a spoon.
  6. You can either eat the cakes now or dehydrate for 3-4 hours until warm and crispy on the outside.

Preparation time: 25 minutes

Number of servings: 9

Meal type: dessert
