- 1). Place the cacoa beans in a large bowl and fill with water until all the beans are fully submerged.
- 2). Leave the beans to soak in the water for half an hour to allow the outer shells to soften.
- 3). Peel the cacoa nuts using the tips of your fingers to tear away the outer shell. If you prefer, use a small paring knife instead of your fingertips. This can be useful if the shells are still quite hard.
