    You guys can look on youtube for cheesecake recipes. There are a lot of good ones on there. Doesn't have to be that one person's recipe

    We do. It's bog standard cocoa powder and a load of Americans are acting as if it's something new and strange.

    Really? Is plain cocoa powder really a revelation to so many Americans?

    I've found, when not sweetening it (eg for my overnight oats), a little cinnamon helps take off the bitter edge.

    Maybe it's new to people who've never baked anything before?

    Otherwise, I have no idea.

    Trader Joe's cocoa powder is good. This is my favorite: I/2 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 T of cocoa powder, 1 T ground flax seed, and I add a little coconut, toasted almonds, and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips! So delicious!

    This...Oishii... the green and blacks stuff is nice, as is good old bournville! A few other good brands out there too... Green and Black's is my fave though! ;) Plus they do the Maya Gold chocolate which to me is like chocolate orgasm divine!

    I live off Bournville these days, as the Gestational Diabetes keeps me off proper desserts :laugh: I have been told my brownies with Maya Gold are better than sex :love:

    I have a huge tub of Bourneville cocoa in the cupboard. I mix a little with my coffee for an easy mocha, lol. I might try Green & Black's now that someone's mentioned it though. It didn't occur to me that it might taste different!

    I live in Tobago for half the year and there's cocoa trees everywhere. It's a shame it's not an easy task to make cocoa powder.....although at the same time it's probably a good thing it's not easy to make chocolate!

    I have raw cacao powder....I'm sure it's healthier (less processed) and can be used in the same way??

    (Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong!)

    I used it to make chocolate mousse with avocado (also coconut oil and agave syrup) the other night - divine!

    Grew up with this stuff. My mom used it for all her chocolate flavored baking. Good stuff, definitely needs sweetening though :)

    Right?!? Where have these people been that they have never heard of cocoa powder. It's been around over 100 years!

    I use the dark chocolate version in my protein shake all the time. :) I can spare 10 calories to have a more chocolatey shake. Also, I love making mint chocolate shakes. Just a drop of peppermint extract = amazing. :)
