The joys of Cacao Butter
The cacao butter gives this treat its white chocolate flavor and taste. On top of that cacao has such a long list of nutritious benefits it’s unbelievable. Cacao has it all including; mood-boosting properties, antioxidants, increased cognitive function, and anti-aging effects. It is beneficial to both heart health and digestive health.
The most interesting benefit we found comes from a study by London scientists that found participants who ate 20 grams of cacao for 12 weeks were able to stay in the sun for twice as long as those who didn’t, without getting sunburned. I don’t know about you, but we plan on eating enough cacao to never get sunburnt again.

What size skillet do you use?
Stacy Valentine says
If I wanted to use an egg, would it be as simple as replacing the chia mix with it and if so, how many? Thanks!
Alex Lester says
Yes, one egg should do the trick!
Dana Windhorst says
What is the serving size for your nutritional breakdown "pie" charts?
Alex Lester says
The serving size can be found in the recipe. This particular recipe serves 4.
Cindy says
will this still work if I don't use the chia seeds?
Alex Lester says
The chia and water work as an egg substitute, so If you wanted to leave the chia seeds out you'd need to also omit the water and add an egg.
Kari says
I’m horrible st over baking things. How can I make sure I don’t over bake it?
Also, I have no cocoa butter, can I leave it out and what would I substitute?
This looks amazing!!
Alex Lester says
You can substitute coconut oil for the cocoa butter. You want to take it out when the middle is still a bit jiggly.
Jen says
This is the best thing I’ve eaten since I began eating based on keto guidelines, hands down. Thank you!!!

I made these last night because for the first time in 5 weeks I was having sugar cravings. Didn't have almond butter so used cashew butter, didn't have walnuts so used pecans. Used powdered Stevia as sweetener. When they had cooled a bit last night they were delicious and satiating. This afternoon, after they'd been in the fridge all night, I had a bite and they are even better! Seriously amazingly delicious. Kinda blew my mind enough to get on here, subscribe and write a review? I know my substitutions changed the macros a bit but it's worth it to me. I found your site by google search, "cacao butter keto". Thank you!

Of course, just like I always do, I made a few "additions". Added about 1 tsp of chicken Better Than Bouillon and 1/4 cup of onions. Also had to add abut 1/2 cup of water for everything to meld together. DEEElicious! A definite keeper for a quick, easy, & delicious meal.
