Eating an Askinosie chocolate bar is an otherworldly experience, but did you know the company also sells cocoa powder? The unsweetened, all natural, rich, dark powder is a byproduct of the cocoa butter–making process. “We don’t chemically treat it, so, it’s not the Dutch-processed, less flavorful cocoa powders most of us are familiar with,” says Chief Marketing Officer, Lawren Askinosie. “Ours is non-alkalized, authentic single origin—perfect for baking, dusting and drink-making. The possibilities are endless.”
Of course, the powder’s decadent flavor makes a tasty cup of hot cocoa, but it’s also packed with antioxidants, making it a popular choice for health and beauty regimes. Askinosie customers use it to make anything from lip balm to beer, in addition to its classic baking and cooking applications. (Askinosie chocolate cake? Yes, please!)
Here are five other ways to use Askinosie Cocoa Powder that don’t involve an oven:
1. Make a face mask or scrub to tighten skin. Recipes abound on Pinterest for whipping up this quick and chocolatey beauty treatment.
2. Sprinkle over your hair’s roots as a dry shampoo to cover gray hairs.
3. Add to grains when brewing beer for a rich dark beer.
4. Sprinkle over fruit for some bittersweet flavor.
5. Make a rich chocolate syrup for coffee or ice cream.
