chocolate and dessert recipes

Most popular dessert recipes nowadays include chocolate in some form. Even traditional Indian ones have begun to incorporate the cocoa extract, like in chocolate barfi and chocolate kheer.

Chocolate, in its raw form of cocoa, is not sweet. It originated amongst native American-Indian tribes like the Aztecs and Mayas, where it was called the ‘Food of the Gods’ and was used during religious rituals. The native Aztecs combined cocoa with honey, nuts, seeds, and spices. 

In fact, in its raw form, chocolate is a healthy food since it contains a lot of protein and anti-oxidants, which prevent cancer. It is also stimulating since it contains caffeine, which is also found in tea and coffee.
