Cacao nibs bring the bitter crunch that completes the full flavour and texture spectrum covered by this bonza Mexican red snapper ceviche. Also included are creamy avocado, sweet mango, and tangy citrus. Que bueno!

The coffee-tinged flavour of cacao nibs makes the espresso syrup on this breakfast really pop.

Use cacao nibs in place of chocolate chips, for a less-sweet, more-crunchy choc chip cookie.

Cacao nibs and coffee beans are used to infuse cream for a rich chocolate-espresso whipped cream. This is combined with two other chocolate-heavy components for triple-choc dreaminess.

When you have that health-nut friend coming around for morning tea, but you also have that sweet-tooth chocoholic friend coming, these brownies are the answer.

Because of their bitter flavour profile, cacao nibs work well to balance sweet and flavours.

Cacao nibs are a no-brainer for pairing with the sweet, silky, nuttiness of an avocado smoothie. Other ingredients like earthy matcha, creamy coconut milk and tangy lime help create a beautifully balanced, thoroughly satisfying breakfast or snack.

Loving cacao nibs has never been as easy (not that it was ever hard) as in this intense, silky ice-cream.

These popsicles are made for summer weekends. They're an easy entertaining dessert that wins the hearts of both kids and adults.

Need a cake that satisfies the deepest chocolate craving, but is also free of gluten and refined sugar? This cake makes fantasy a reality. Cacao nibs are folded through the ricotta cake mixture to add little bursts of crunch.

For you choc-mint fans out there, you can now guiltlessly enjoy your favourite flavour pairing to your heart's content.

Chia seeds, raw cocoa powder, coconut milk, coconut water, edible flowers: this is what breakfast looks like in 2018.

The classic Bannoffe pie formula is a buttery biscuit base, toffee filling, whipped cream topping and slices of fresh banana. This tart fancies things up a bit, with light and elegant layers of caramel and mousse, and scattering of cacao nibs.

Mousse can be achieved in different ways. This one involves a little elbow grease—making a pastry cream, a meringue mixture, and whipped cream, then folding them all together. The result is luxurious, creamy and worth it. Cocoa nibs add a delightful textural balance.

These individual Tiramisu desserts differ from the standard version, with a chocolate biscuit pastry case covered in a Masala mousse, and then a coffee mousse; but they do share the trademark coffee-and-liqueur lacing and so are true to the Italian alias, meaning “pick me up”.
