Notes
- I used raw cocoa powder but regular unsweetened cocoa powder will work just fine.
- Raw cocoa powder is available from specialty food shops, Health food shops and online.
- Feel free to use olive oil instead of coconut oil. I used coconut oil as it has a more dessert flavour to it. You can get coconut oil online, from most major supermarkets and health food shops.
- Middle eastern fairy floss is a great product, you can get it from middle eastern deli’s or online.
