A Decadent & Classic Tasting Desert!

Indulge in something so yummy it's hard to believe it's also super healthy for you! A healthier, yummier take on the classic orange & chocolate flavor. Enjoy on your own or serve to guests at a party to wow them.

Why we love this recipe with our cacao

Our ceremonial cacao is 100% cacao. That means, unlike cocoa powder, it isn't over processed & defatted. It's full of nutrients and the cacao butter is still present, which turns this Chocolate Orange Tart into a rich delicacy. Using these simple ingredients alongside our cacao makes for a healthy & decadent treat.
