Cocoa Nibs

Which of these flavors of ice cream sounds better?

Morning Yearning-cold serum with a swirl of maple and bacon bits pumpkin ice cream pumpkin pie with ice cream swirl cookie crust, with recompense Bakers cake with butter cream, cookies and chocolate pieces with chocolate cream strawberry ice flakes Oreo Cheesecake, Strawberry Cheesecake with Oreo chunks and a swirl of cream Moctezuma clay dark chocolate with cinnamon, chile and cocoa tips Bubbly "champagne sorbet with unflavored pop rocks Rey-banana ice cream with bits of bacon and peanut butter Café with blueberry swirl muffin butter, ice cream with blueberries and sugar oatmeal streusel swirl ice brown cookie with raisins and chopped oatmeal streusel

I'd probably go for the pumpkin or strawberry oreo. the question I have about some of these is the texture, oatmeal or cake really argue nothing just become ice cream? and only my opinion, but much as I like bacon, which has no ice cream sounds delicious.

Description

Professional chefs and home cooks alike have requested the cocoa nibs that we use to create our award winning chocolate.

Incredibly flavorful, we use them to make our chocolate with but you can use them in salads, cookies, brownies, ice cream, coffee, or a host of other recipes. Origin Information: These nibs are made from super-premium cocoa beans from Ghana. The port of Accra in Ghana has been famous for its cocoa for the past one hundred years. Ghana produces the classic Forestaro cocoa with the rich chocolate flavor that people recognize. The beans we used from Ghana's cocoa is of superior flavor to much of the world's cocoa. We were able to secure a quantity of high-quality cocoa from Ghana that is a beautiful example of the rich traditional chocolate flavor inherent in cocoa from Africa. These are some of the finest cocoa beans we have yet seen from Ghana. We have roasted this cocoa in our vintage cocoa roaster to enhance and bring out its optimum flavor. The beans were broken and winnowed to remove their husk. The hard germ is also removed -- something that most nib suppliers fail to do. The resultant nibs (bits of bean) quickly sealed in high-barrier, foil-lined resealable bags, to trap all the beautiful roasted cocoa flavors inside. These nibs are rich and chocolaty, wonderful to snack on or to add to a whole variety of dishes. We demand the very finest in quality when we make our chocolate, just as we demand the very finest in quality when we make our nibs. Amano's Guarantee: We use the same quality beans for our nibs as we use for our chocolate. We refuse to compromise on the quality of our nibsjust as we refuse to compromise on the quality of our chocolate. We believe that our cocoa nibs are the highest quality nibs on the market today.

Description

Cacao Butter is what white chocolate is made of! Our raw, certified organic, chemical-free cacao butter is the pure oil of the cacao bean. Cacao Butter (Organic, Raw) 1lb Ingredients: Certified Organic Raw Cacao Butter (Vegan.) Contains no chemicals, no hexane and no solvents. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Our raw organic cacao butter has a high level of stability and a long shelf-life (over a year). Suggested Uses: Cacao butter is edible and possesses an extraordinary rich, delicate chocolate aroma. Add a piece of this butter to your favorite smoothie, dessert, ice cream or chocolate creation. Because it has not been damaged by heat, our cacao butter melts easily and blends nicely into any type of recipe. Cacao Butter makes a great dessert when mixed with coconut oil, agave and cacao. Cacao Butter may be used as a skin moisturizer. It may be used as (or in conjunction with) a massage oil. What is Raw Cacao Butter? Our Cacao butter is created through a proprietary cold-pressed method. This process begins by cold-pressing the organic Cacao Nibs into a "cake" in such a way that the oil begins to separate from the protein and fiber. The temperature is never allowed to exceed (or even reach) 120 degrees Fahrenheit and is usually 104 degrees Fahrenheit (all other cacao butters are exposed to temperatures as high as 300 degrees Fahrenheit!) A high-accuracy thermometer is used throughout processing. Slowly, the pure, liquid cacao butter begins to sift off into a stainless steel valve that takes the cacao butter into a separate container where it is allowed to solidify in an attractive shape and packaged for shipment! Cacao butter melts at approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius.)
