Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 What do I do,go and buy a 100% cocoa butter moisturizer that smells so chocolaty that you want to eat it! Its so yummy. But its not creamy, it's like trying to rub a candle. Does anyone have advice on how to use this stuff? I can get a little to smear on my hands,but I cant imagine getting it on the rest of me! Andrine's reply: Hey there , I make perfumed cocoa butter moisturizer bars, and the key is to roll them between your hands for a few seconds. That's usually all it takes to melt just the amount that you need to use. And it takes a bit of rubbing in, but, boy is it ever nice afterwards! And you *could* get a friend to help... I find that works pretty well... Especially if their hands are warmer than yours. =: D Have fun! Andrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Kirsty I'd really love to hear your recipe too please. Our recipe is just chocolate (cacao) powder, cacao butter and carob nectar (our favourite sweetener from detox your world). It is really simple just 3 ingredients. We melt the cacao butter, stir in the chocolate powder carefully until it thickens (I add quite a lot - as much as I think it will take) and then add carob nectar to taste. I also add steenberg flavourings (the rose is nice - so are vanilla and peppermint) - but it is fine without too. I set it on greaseproof paper in the fridge. I used to use cup cakes but now just make blobs mostly with a spoon. Adding sultanas and or nuts is nice. If you grind the nuts you can make praline (making myself hungry!) We are all fine with this but we do feel that Eddie is best eating chocolate near enzymes. A little bit is fine anytime at all - but we wouldn't give too much (he can get a red ear) unless he'd had enzymes. It's especially nice after a meal.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Sara, I use the same places as Kirsty www.detoxyourworld.com or www.funkyraw.com (Funky raw is cheaper for the chocolate - it's not organic but it says it is pesticide free if I remember right). I'm looking for cheaper supplies. I buy lkg bags. I'm terrible with amounts ... I half fill a pyrex bowl of cacao butter for melting in a pan of heated water. (the less heat the more raw) I add somewhere about 2-3 times as much chocolate powder as cacao butter - but we like it chocolatey. Add slowly and make sure you can still stir it. I add maybe 2 tablespoons of carob nectar but taste as I go :-) Sandyxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 You can use tools from Weight Watchers--their online site or their points calculator if you are a member--to calculate the points.Now the current points system doesn't use calories to calculate the points, just fat, carbs, fiber, & protein--so maybe you are using an older version of points, and they *are* different--current points values come up a little higher than the system that was in place a couple of years ago. But this entire recipe has 51 WW points using their current calculators.  So if the recipe makes 4 servings (which was not specified), that's about 13 points per serving.  About half the points are from the chocolate chips (25) and half from the heavy cream (24) and 2 from the egg, so you might try it with " fat-free half & half " (I didn't know there was such a thing but it appears in the points list) which has 4 points per cup making the total 31 points or 8 per serving (if there are 4 servings).

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Perhaps it is not mousse - I know nothing about culinary level cooking :-) Perhaps it is more of a pudding? The cocoa powder can be increased also if someone would like more of a chocolate flavor.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 A similar chocolate mousse recipe that I have done in a food processor many times is on my list to make list for this week. I'll blend silken tofu in the vitamix until very smooth then add either melted chocolate chips or cocoa powder and honey(or your sweetener of choice). Some coffee crystals or espresso are a good addition. Even better for grownups only, is to add some Kahlua or brandy! E > >>> > >>> > What's everyone's best Vitamix recipe using chocolate?
