Cacao Eggnog
A Decadent Twist On A Holiday Favorite
Eggnog was always a holiday treat for us growing up, so when we added our ceremonial cacao to the mix, it took the recipe to a whole new level! Eggnog is already a rich drink and pure cacao adds a new dimension of flavor and decadence.
Why we love this recipe with our cacao
Aside from the obvious health benefits of our pure ceremonial cacao, we love the complex flavor it brings compared to blander cocoa powder. At first we weren't sure if a cacao eggnog would work out, but it was an instant hit in our house.

A Holiday Delicacy! This is a rich drink, so consume slowly & in moderation!
Ingredients
- 1 ounce/3 tbsp Ceremonial Cacao
- 1 Can Coconut Milk
- 2 Egg yolks (preferably organic & free-range)
- 1/8 Cup Maple Syrup

- Finish test: when you run your finger down the middle of the wooden spoon and a line stays clear
