If you are looking for a hot chocolate drink, look elsewhere. From my understanding, this is made with the shells or outer part of the cocoa bean. They are roasted and then you brew it like coffee. Like coffee, it is bitter, not sweet, and will have the same viscosity of coffee, not cocoa. You will notice a very small about of fat in the brewed drink, my guess is from residual cocoa butter--we are talking trace amount. I blended mine in a coffee grinder, brewed in a french press, mixed after it steeped for 6-8 minutes with a frother, strained at 10 minutes, and then added my creamer and sweetener. To me, it tasted much like coffee with a hint/aftertaste of chocolate. Also, smells really good when it is steeping. Review: Just amazing - In 27 years I have received thousands of desertcart orders. I have reviewed a mere fraction of the items. This cocoa is worthy of my time. I put in a small Bodun French press, because I wanted one cup to try. I added a tabsp of heavy whipping cream and frothed it with a handheld mini frother. This is a fantastic cup of happiness to start my day. It is like a homemade cup of cocoa I might make for an honored guest after a day on the ski slopes! I didn't even add sugar. It is that good! I am going to reinvent the Ned Flanders Cocoa Recipe so it's low calorie and even happier. (Serves 1) Ingredients: 1 cup whole milk (or your preferred milk) 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1-2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste) 1/4 tsp vanilla extract Pinch of salt Whipped cream (optional) Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional) Marshmallows (because Flanders would!) Instructions: Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it's steaming but not boiling. Mix Cocoa and Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Combine: Add a couple of tablespoons of the hot milk to the cocoa mixture and stir until smooth, forming a paste. Add to Milk: Pour the cocoa paste back into the saucepan, stirring continuously. Flavor: Add the vanilla extract and continue stirring until everything is well combined and heated through. Serve: Pour into your favorite mug, top with whipped cream, marshmallows, and maybe a sprinkle of chocolate. Bonus Ned Flanders Touch: Serve it with a cheerful smile and perhaps a “Hi-diddly-ho!” ## Features - GHANA FRENCH ROAST: Bold &Roasty Flavor Delicious bold and roasty natural chocolate taste with an earthy flavor.

I had the light roast and i liked it.** A: Ghana French has a much bolder, coffee-like taste, whereas the Ecuador Light has a very dark chocolate taste w/ fruity notes. **Q: Can this be used in a coffeemaker?** A: I have used a Keurig cup with this and it works but I prefer French Press because it gives extra seeping time. I'm sure it will work in a coffee maker but the taste will be lacking. **Q: Can I use a percolator and how much per cup?** A: Yes same as regular coffee 1tbs per 6 oz water **Q: The description says cacao beans but the bag says cocoa beans. What is the difference?** A: Cacao is raw unprocessed beans and cocoa is processed beans ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like Coffee, not Hot Chocolate *by L***5 on February 5, 2025* If you are looking for a coffee substitute, buy this.

I put about half espresso half this now to up theobromine/ misc energy and down the jittery caffeine etc from coffee. Tastes nice. Just too expensive so 4 stars, if it were cheaper i'd use only it. Also great if you're addicted to chocolate and can't tell if its the sugar or the rest of the chocolate - this is 0 sugar. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crio Bru Brewed Cacao Ghana French Roast 1.5lb (24oz) Bag - Coffee Alternative Natural Healthy Drink | 100% Pure Ground Cacao Beans | 99.99% Caffeine Free, Keto, Low Carb, Paleo, Brew And Enjoy Hot or Iced - Crio Bru Brewed Cacao Uber Dark Spanish Roast 1.5lb (24oz) Bag - Coffee Alternative Natural Healthy Drink | 100% Pure Ground Cacao Beans | 99.99% Caffeine Free, Keto, Low Carb, Paleo, , Organic Brew And Enjoy Hot or Iced --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7865584-brewed-cacao-ghana-french-roast-1-5lb-24oz-bag](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7865584-brewed-cacao-ghana-french-roast-1-5lb-24oz-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
