Chocolate Recipes
If you are looking for rich creamy ice cream that’s chocolaty this is it. I really enjoyed rich ice cream before going raw and this does not disappoint. Add more chocolate if you are a chocoholic as this recipe more subtle. Taste before you freeze. Soft and creamy not icy at all.
I’m actually still in the process of perfecting this, but here is what I started with and it is already a family favorite. This is best kept in the freezer and has a nice soft/crunchy texture to it. The hardest part about this recipe (besides needing the right equipment) is not eating all the brownie batter while waiting for it to dry! I barely had any left to make this piece you see here because of my nibbling! (So I actually doubled the original recipe that I made. I hope it turns out the same.) If you don’t want to go through the trouble of making and assembling this with the vanilla cream, it also makes great brownies (an try putting jungle peanuts on top!) Yum!
My “baby” – chocolate chip cookies!
Remember making Cornflake cakes when you were a kid? Make them again!
I have used dehydrated slices of bananas to resemble Cornflakes and mixed them with raw chocolate to make a raw version of Cornflake cakes.
Super easy to make and fun. Someone gets to lick the bowl afterwards!
It’s good for kids to help with. They can lay the banana on the dehydrator, crush up the dehydrated slices, help melt the chocolate, mix it all up and spoon the mixture into the cake cups.
These cakes are great for parties.
This recipe is highly adaptable as you can see, but it turned out really well.
What a delicious treat! And what a fun and festive delight to serve at parties, especially in place of cupcakes for kids!
This is SOOOO Amazing! It makes an incredible pudding by itself. Or put it in a nut date crust for a quick, easy & Delicious chocolate pie – like in the picture.
Yes, really!
So, here’s the story: For the past few days my roommate has been walking around munching on a bag of Newman’s Own Hint’O Mint sandwich cookies. I’ll admit it, at first I was jealous. But then, I got inspired! The result turned out fabulous. The filling tastes exactly like the center of a York Peppermint patty.
This is a creamy chocolate treat that is great alone or in my “Pie Crust”. My whole non-raw family likes it, too!
I got this recipe from “The Raw Chef Blog” by Russell James. I found it when I was searching for a Raw Chocolate Easter Egg recipe. We made 6 butterfly chocolate pops, 1 Easter Bunny pop, 12 solid, large eggs, and filled 3 minature mould sheets. It made our Easter! Thank you Russell James!!!
I made this playing around with my brownie recipe, but this turned out really great with strawberries and banana slices dipped into it. I won’t lie, I didn’t take exact measurements, so these are rough estimates. Don’t be afraid to play!
This is heavenly chocolate fudge sauce, I dip fruit like fondue or pour over sliced bananas or raw ice cream. So delicious and irresistible!
Oh yes. It tastes like a banana split. All mixed together so your mouth doesn’t have to do the work. Ripe bananas with chocolate and walnuts…oh my!!
ridiculously healthy chocolate
This ice cream is about the richest, creamiest ice cream ever. And it’s REALLY easy. This will satisfy your ice cream cravings no matter how bad you want the real thing…it might even be better. I’m not eating a raw diet, I just have fun experimenting with it and prefer this over regular ice cream. I would imagine this could be frozen with an ice cream maker, but I don’t have one so I have never tried. If you try it let me know how it goes! I did not include amounts because they depend on how much you want to make and your tastes.
This is perfect for Valentine’s Day, or any day!
This is wonderful tasty desert that you can enjoy anytime. It takes great! Very chocolatey!
This is a quick and easy dessert. Will satisfy your desire for a chocolate fudge/candy consistency.
Reminicent of an Almond Joy, these truffles are a great pick-me-up and they take only 15 min to make! Kids love to make (and eat) these too! They are great to pack in a lunch or for travelling.
This is a HEAVENLY ice cream! Luv says it tastes like the Brazil Nut Chocolate Gelato that she tried at Whole Foods before we went RAW. Very Yummy! Hope you like it.
I was trying to make almond butter but it just wasn’t the right consistency, so I decided to add carob, and then all these other wonderful things….rawcolate balls were born.
This is adapted from the “I Am Luscious” recipe in “I Am Grateful: Recipes and Lifestyles of Cafe Gratitude”. I highly recommend this fabulous book! Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been delicious. I used to cap the amount of cacao powder in my smoothies and nut mylks at 1.5T, but for that pure cacao flavor, I’ve learned you need at least 2T. Why not splurge, you only live once!
This ice cream is interesting and sweet. Of course, it’s not for everyday because it has nothing good for you, but it’s great if you’re looking for something lightly chocolate and yummy!
When I get home from work, it’s time for my daily cacao fix! I have eight different combinations I use, and this is one of my favorites. I like to start out with a tablespoon of bee pollen straight, and then I follow it up with this little piece of heaven. Warning: This is very mildly sweetened, so many of you will need more goji berries to make it palatable for you! Also, I highly recommend the Artisana coconut butter, but if you use coconut oil, you might also need more gojis to sweeten it up.
This makes a HEAVENLY Chocolate Candy Base for those that don’t want/can’t use honey, agave or other syrups (we don’t tolerate those, but can indulge in medjool dates :) ) This makes a nice thick, smooth chocolate that when frozen to set up keeps its form very well & has a great texture. And yes, this also makes a wonderful, smooth & creamy icing for raw cakes!
Makes a big, tall glass of happiness. Easy and excellent way to wake up in the morning—keeps you going all day long.
Delicious! This recipe has more of a milk chocolate taste.
Really easy, super quick and yummy chocolate mousse! Flavours, such as orange or lemon, can be added.
I get raw chocolate powder from www.detoxyourworld.com http://www.detoxyourworld.com/acatalog/chocolate_powder_organic.html
If you can’t get hold of raw chocolate powder you could substitute with 100% cocoa powder (this isn’t raw).
This mousse satisfies the sweet craving I sometimes get and at the same time makes me feel full which means I don’t crave to eat anything else. Perfect for when I feel I might fall off the wagon!
Even my junk foodist boyfriend likes this!
I like to make it in advance and take it to work the next day. Everyone asks “What’s that? I thought you ate only raw food?” He he he he!
These taste just like the Easter chocolate I used to get but they are healthy! Sorry, I don’t know the measurements, just do what feels right.
Sometimes you just want some comfort food. This weekend was one of those times. I woke up on Saturday morning, wondering what I was going to bring to the raw pot-luck that day. My mind was filled with thoughts of easy to make, savory stand-by’s, but nothing jumped out at me. As I looked at the what I had in the cabinets, it dawned on me that it might just be a comfort food kinda day.
I couldn’t be more pleased with how these turned out. Folks at the pot-luck gave them a big thumbs up and of course, the plate was empty when the pot-luck was over. Soft, sweet, chocolaty, just like how a brownie should be, but with the frosting on top, these will take you right into comfort food bliss!

This recipe was the result of chocolate cashew butter cups gone rawng. I began by making chocolate from melted coconut oil and cocoa powder and sweetened with stevia but went WAY over board and it was WAY too sweet. So I began adding anything I could think of to make it less sweet which is why I don’t have amounts. I just dumped everything in there until it tasted good. And it turned out delicious.
We sent the Wholes Foods Chocolate Earth Ball Recipe to be Rawed and the results will be perfect when you turn your lights out for an hour this Saturday!
If only Popeye knew about these. They are a perfect way conquer your sweet-tooth or post work-out cravings while also receiving your doses of protein, fiber, EFA’s and EAA’s.
Creamy chocolate goodness
I accidentally came up with this trying to make a smoothie earlier. It’s all superfood, and has the texture of traditional chocolate pudding!
yummmmmmm… my new favorite treat!
A friend made this for me once, except she replaced the coconut with dates. DELICIOUS AND EASY TO MAKE!!!!! This is so filling, and chia seeds are a complete source of protein. It’s a perfect, delicious source of protein for kids, with 15 grams of protein per serving (go to oneluckyduck.com, select EAT, then ingredients, and Chia seeds. it lists the nutrition content)
Chia seeds are great for anyone with constipation, as they ease digestion. Good for diabetics as well.
You could also try a vanilla pudding, but the chocolate powder seems to be a major ingredient in this recipe. Oneluckyduck.com suggests mixing chia seeds with cashew butter, but why would you want to mix some exensive, high quality product as chia seeds with cashew butter? It’s gross to me. :/
Just had this for my lunch – the lettuce doesn’t really get a look in flavour wise but it gave me a big chocolate hit whilst still getting some vits from the lettuce! :-)
this was just an idea i had cuz my dad loves nanner puddin pie.. the kind with vanilla puddin and nilla wafers on top.. but this is what i came up with (i love chocolate!!) and i took it over to the parents house on easter when we all got together.. didnt say a WORD about it being raw.. it was great!
Creamy & so delish! Experiment & Enjoy!
Truly this has a moist, warm pudding texture just like the real pudding cake. I must say that this is one of those recipes that has to be a rare treat, even for raw…but it certainly tastes amazing.
This is an excellent raw, completely solid chocolate bar. It can also be made into chocolate chips (that are errily identical to Hershey’s) by dropping the mixture onto a parchment/waxed paper/plastic wrap lined cookie sheet with a pastry bag and fine tip.
Add vanilla and almonds for a Hershey’s Goodbar-esque bar
Add mint extract for a deliciouly smooth minty bar
This is an adaptation of Angie’s great dipping chocolate for the serious chocolate addict. This should take care of those early “I need chocolate now cravings.” It will harden almost right away in the vitamix to the consistency of soft wax so you can push into little molds or roll into balls for a daily fix. I ate it right away (hence, no photo) but I’m guessing you could roll this out with a rolling pin and cut shapes, bars, etc. I’ll play with it some more, take pics and update.
This is a very sweet and delicious treat to have. I love making Heidi Ohlunder’s basic raw Vanilla Iced Cream to eat, and it tastes great in this shake! But you could use any raw Vanilla Iced Cream recipe available. To get the recipe for Heidi’s Ice Cream, sign up for her raw ice cream mini e-course at http://www.rawfoodrightnow.com/rawicecreamecourse.html.
A delicious cereal bar that tastes like the traditional bars that everyone brings to your ordinary SAD potluck. So deluctable and scrummy… it makes you feel almost guilty.
This chocolate ice cream is so rich and creamy. Even when frozen for more than a couple days, it still scoops easily because of the beneficial fats the hemp provides.
I did this tonight and it was ace… Ridiculously simple but so indulgent! Kind of reminds me of chocolate-dipped marshmallows.
A sweet recipe to make when you’re craving chocolate, can easily be frozen into ice cream.
I was trying to make chocolate pine nut yogurt, but I ended up making a richer version of this delicious nut mylk instead! Nut mylks made with coconut water rule! You can use any kind of nut, but a high oil content nut like the ones below are best if you want a creamy nut mylk.
I had the biggest chocolate craving yesterday and I’m huge on pie, so I dreamed up a pie recipe while getting some ideas from other chocolate recipes. This one was divine!
Easy and quick cookie/snack bar made with only 3 ingredients and a processor! You could use dates instead of raisins if you wanted to – I haven’t but you could!
