Let food be thy medicine! Dark chocolate infused with health boosting turmeric tastes divine and supports vitality. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is rich in antioxidants and helps to modulate inflammation. It is beneficial to cognitive function and heart & musculoskeletal health.
Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is rich in iron, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants. Research shows that cacao helps to boost mood & energy levels and may help to ease anxiety. It promotes heart health and cognitive function and helps to modulate inflammation.
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is an important addition because it works synergistically with turmeric, enhancing the absorption of its potent medicinal constituents by up to 2,000%.

Method
- Chop the cacao butter into smallish pieces so that it melts quicker.
- Add the pieces to a small saucepan or heat-proof container. Place this in a larger saucepan full of water (essentially you’re just making a double boiler) and heat until the cacao butter has melted, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the remaining ingredients, making sure the powders are well incorporated.
- Pour into chocolate molds, whisking every so often between pours to keep all the powders incorporated. Then let cool completely.
- Remove the chocolates from the molds & store in a container in the fridge.
