Look at the colour of this bad boy!! We break the chocolate theme here for a brief berry interlude. This recipe is really easy to execute and tastes amazing, that's if you can bring yourself to rip into the relative work of art that it is. Make sure you keep this in the freezer long enough so that it is nice and firm at the point of serving.
These muffins are made with cooked quinoa (rather than quinoa flour). It is therefore super moist and dense and has an intense chocolate flavour (which suits me because I LOVE dark chocolate). If you prefer your chocolate a little less intense perhaps try with a little less cacao. I chose to make these entirely in a blender – super easy and really successful!

Making chocolate is one of the great simple pleasures of life. Once you know the secret you might begin to wonder why you hadn’t tried it earlier. The basic elements are simple; you need some good quality fat, cacao butter of coconut oil, some antioxidant rich cacao and a sweetener to bring it all together. Feel free to experiment with the ratios to suit your tastes and needs!
I love all things chocolate, any combination, any which way I’m all over it. Lucky for me, cacao is considered one of natures super foods and because I have the means to make my own chocolate with pure, natural ingredients my crazy addiction isn’t detrimental to my health. - Saphira Tuffery
Like the classic Snickers bar, but healthy. You feel the quality in every bite. If you are a fan of hazelnuts, peanut butter and raw chocolate, these decadent bars are for you. - Karolina Eleonóra
The sensual and warm saffron has a date with an indulgent chocolate filling - a flavour sensation you'll come back to over and over again. With nutrients such as virgin coconut oil, saffron, mesquite and raw cacao you can't really feel guilty when indulging in these. - Karolina Eleonóra
I've been so excited to experiment with the Salted Caramel Chocolate and our monthly staff party offered up my first golden opportunity! The base of this raw cake is made from dates which gives an even more caramely flavour when combined in a heavenly mouthful with the salted caramel cashew topping. This is a really large recipe as it was catering for a lot of people so you can easily half the recipe for a more manageable size!
If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be Chocolate Mousse. It’s flurry, creamy, chocolatey and this one is actually good for you. Free from the refined sugar and thickened cream in commercial varieties. - Angela Simson - The Gratitude Project
Anyone recognise this cake?! It’s a merrymaker paleo-fication of a Women’s Weekly classic! That’s right! This is our Paleo Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Cake! Decadent, moist, chocolate, yummy goodness. Plus, chocolate + raspberries = best combo ever! - The Merrymaker Sisters
Black Forest Cakes were all the rage once upon a time - I wanted to bring a bit of the past into today and recreate this favourite as a raw vegan cheesecake. The chocolate layer is flavoured with our Creamy Coconut Mylk Chocolate and has an ice cream like consistency which is cut perfectly with the tangy berry chia jam.
When making raw, vegan desserts I think it's important that they're not obviously healthy. It's about fooling the taste buds while incorporating as many nutrient rich ingredients as you can. I want people to be able to enjoy a raw, vegan dessert as much as they would any other dessert.
This Chocolate Orange Torte recipe is just that - using a blend of avocado and tofu in the filling results in a light, creamy texture contrasted with an almond meal, chocolate and date "biscuit like" base you'll have anyone fooled that this dessert is 100% raw, vegan and free of all refined sugar and gluten.
