Notes

You can use natural cocoa powder as well. The ending product may have more of an acidic or bitter taste, but I found it still very tasty.
Untested - If you don't like the texture of the seeds, you can try turning the seeds into a powder before making. Place the seeds into a clean coffee grinder until it's a powder.
