Notes
You can use cocoa powder in this recipe, but then you lose the "raw" title. Cocoa powder will also absorb less liquid than cacao powder, so you will need to add a little extra cocoa powder if your homemade chocolate sauce seems too thin or tastes a bit light. Also, do not use granulated sugar since this recipe doesn't use enough heat to melt it. If you use sugar, you will have gritty chocolate sauce!
