BaoActive African Superfood

Creamy Iced Baobab Drink

Who knew? Baobab powder has powers beyond those well documented health-giving properties we love so much. We’ve discovered that it gives chocolate a smooth and creamy finish, much like chocolate mousse in a cold drink form. To fully enjoy this Bao-choco treat one needs to get the ratio of cacao to baobab just right. We think we’ve got it, and can’t wait for you to try it. It’s exceptionally delicious with whipped coconut cream for an extra-delicious gourmet treat!
Especially developed and photographed for EcoProducts by Candice Douglas of the Social Post, this is a tried and tested recipe that focuses on exceptional taste using locally produced natural ingredients wherever possible.

Gourmet Extra-rich & Creamy Version with Coconut Whipped Cream

  • Chill a mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. (Not vital, but helpful.)
  • Turn the coconut cream can over slowly, and open ‘bottom side up’.
  • Pour the liquid out, and save for smoothies.
  • Scrape the coconut cream out, and whisk on a medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy.
  • Add sweetener and vanilla and whisk for another minute.
  • Place a dollop of cream on top of the cold chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • Refrigerate leftover cream in a sealed container.
