Many of you know by now that I am slightly addicted to chocolate. I eat chocolate every day in one form or another, and it is usually 100% cacao from ChocoVivo, my favorite bean to bar chocolate shop in Los Angeles. We use their delicious chocolate in our cakes at the bakery as well.
Some days, I’m in more of a white chocolate mood. Enter cacao butter, chocolate’s better half. Cacao butter is the white fat from the cacao bean. It has that chocolatey flavor as well and when it is mixed with a bit of raw honey, it quickly turns into a super food and a super dessert. I originally made this Pistachio Rose White Chocolate with Shiva Rose, and I’m sharing it today on my blog with you. Enjoy this delectable version of white chocolate, mixed with fragrant dried roses and pistachios.
