What you’ll need:

1   cup finely  chopped cacao   butter

1   cup extra-virgin    coconut oil

2    tablespoons     sugar-free  sweetener   of  choice  (I

recommend   monk    fruit,  erythritol, or  stevia)

½   teaspoon    vanilla powder

Pinch   of  sea salt

3    packets     Four    Sigmatic    Lion’s  Mane    Elixir  (or     1

heaping teaspoon    of  lion’s  mane    extract),   optional

1    cup     unsweetened     raw     cacao   powder,     plus    more    if

needed

What to do:

1 . Put  the     cacao   butter  in  a   double  boiler  or  heatproof

bowl     set     over    a   pan     of  just-simmering  water   (make

sure    the bowl    doesn’t touch   the water   and keep    it  over

low heat;   this    is  important   for preserving  the enzymes

and  brain-nourishing    properties  of  the     cacao).     Stir

until   completely  melted. Add the coconut oil and use

a   whisk   or  milk    frother to  combine until   the fats    are

emulsified. Add  the     sweetener,  vanilla     powder,     salt,

and lion’s  mane,   if  using.  Whisk   again   to  combine.

2 . Slowly  add the cacao   powder  to  the mixture until   it

reaches the consistency of  thick   cream,  adding  more

if  needed.

3 . Pour    the mixture into    ice cube    trays   and place   in  the

freezer  for     30  to  60  minutes     to  harden.     Let     them

soften  for 5   to  10  minutes after   taking  them    out of  the
