Cocoa Recommendation

What cocoa should I use?

Use cocoa powder in this recipe to bring a deep chocolate flavour that balances the natural sweetness of the bananas. A smooth, alkalised cocoa powder blends easily into the mashed fruit, giving the squares a rich colour and mellow cocoa depth without adding heaviness.
