When you cut the cacao powder, shave it finely so it will actually break into small pieces like it’s grated.

The cacao butter, should it be grated or just cut up in to pieces?

Cacao nuts? Do you mean the cacao nibs? Yes, you can grind them into a powder and use them but it will be a little grittier and stronger than using cacao powder.
When I say almond milk in the recipe I’m assuming that you have soaked the almonds, but I guess I shouldn’t assume anything :)

Will it be the same if I just weigh 4 oz of the cacao butter and cacao nuts? I usually grind the nuts myself so that they are fresh. I was also wondering if you have sprouted recipes? I’d like to use sprouted almond milk but I’m sure that will be fine in the recipe. I was just curious.

Is there something I can substitute for the raw cacao butter as I need to stay away from caffeine and cacao has lots of caffeine. I can substitute carob for cacao powder.

I have just made a batch of ice cream and ice crystals have formed is there anyway I can get rid of them once they have formed.

Thanks

Russell

From Russell: If you have a juicer like a GreenStar then you can use the homogenising blank plate to do that. Simply cut the ice-cream up to chunks that will fit in the shute and then pass them through the juicer with the blank (homogenising) plate on, then re-freeze.
