A typical sample of cacao nibs or cacao beans will yield anywhere from zero caffeine to 1,000 parts per million of caffeine. Cacao also has a ton of health benefits. Some people find cacao stimulating. You will have to experiment to find out if it is for you or not. Cacao is chocolate in it’s raw form.

I was just wondering if raw cacao contains caffeine? I have been eating a totally raw diet for a little over a month now, and am pretty sure that caffeine is not aloud on a raw foods diet, but see it in many recipes in my raw “cook” books. It’s not going to stop me from trying this delicious chocolate mousse recipe, but I am curious.

Thanks, Traci

Hi,

I made a similar recipe on Sunday, but made it into a pie with a soaked cashew/almond/date crust (dehydrated after formed inside of a springform pan). Instead of the avocados, I used 1/2 cup of dried Irish Moss. It gave the chocolate mousse a very chocolate taste and a good texture. Irish Moss does not have a particular flavor, but is full of nutrients.
To use Irish Moss, clean it, soak it overnight or longer. It puffs up. When blended with a little water, it becomes a gel and can be used to firm up all mousse type desserts. Coconut flesh and avocados are not needed.

You can find the recipe for almond butter here: http://www.rawmazing.com/recipes/raw-recipe-almond-butter/ and the almond milk instructions here: http://www.rawmazing.com/recipes/raw-food-warm-cacao-with-cinnamon/ You can make the almond milk with out the dates and vanilla, if you wish.

This sounds good! How do you make the raw Almond Milk and Almond Butter? Do you soak the almonds beforehand? Where I live they don’t have much in the way of raw food products.

It makes about 4 servings at around 1/3 c each. If you want exact nutrition numbers, you can google, “nutritional analysis” and there are a bunch of places you can enter ingredients and they will give you the numbers.

Thanks so much for the recipe and the approximate nutritional breakdown. I just made the mousse this afternoon and I can’t wait to have it tonight (who am I kidding…I licked the spoon after I finished making it, before I even refrigerated it, and it was already amazing)!! just wondering if you could tell me how many servings this recipe
makes and how much a serving is based on your nutritional analysis that you provided? Thank you! I’m now hooked on your blog ad look forward to your next post!
