We couldn’t make it through the holiday baking season and not pay homage to our favorite seasonal bar -- Ginger Snap. Cue our ultimate Cacao Ginger Cookie. We developed a recipe that could be used two ways: as a soft-baked gingersnap, and as an iced gingerbread cut-out. This cookie is a crowd pleaser: it’s vegan and gluten free, yet bold and soul-warming. Dare we say this is the only ginger cookie you’ll need this holiday season.   Ingredients: 1 stick vegan or dairy butter ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup molasses 1 teaspoon vanilla 3/4 cup oat flour ¼ cup buckwheat...

This holiday pie is inspired by a favorite: the chai latte. This is an easy, vegan, no-bake pie that’s halfway between a chocolate pudding and a cheesecake, with all the coziness of a warm latte.

It’s the kind of care we put into our own chocolate,...

This pie has cranberries, fresh sage, nutmeg, crystalized ginger, orange, and, of course, cacao. It's the marbled cacao pie base and checkered lattice topping that makes this pie truly one of a kind. Our fruity Tanzanian Cacao Powder is the perfect complement to the tangy, spiced, just-sweet-enough cranberry filling. This pie is a celebration of togetherness as well as a celebration of the flavors of...
