These are so simple, there”s no excuse not to make your own eggs this year!
Ingredients:
190g raw cacao butter
60g extra virgin coconut oil
125g raw cacao powder
150g agave nectar (or alternatively, use Stevia to taste)
Directions:
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil.
In the meantime, chop cocao butter into small chunks and place in metal bowl, along with coconut oil.
Place bowl over saucepan and gently melt the mixture.
Once melted, stir in the raw cacao powder and agave.
Pour into mini egg moulds, filling to the so you have solid half eggs.
Place in the fridge until set.
I prefer my chocolate simple and unadulterated, but these are also great with a handful of chopped nuts thrown into the mix (hazelnuts and macadamias work particularly well). Or, if you”re feeling especially indulgent, try sandwiching two egg halves together with macadamia butter…Heaven.
P.S. Hope you enjoyed my Easter chocolate and chicks artwork…

Love making chocolate. Agave syrup works well but I’ve not been lucky with stevia – makes it really bitter for some reason.

Mrs B Yes, Stevia is an acquired taste – has a wierd metallic aftertaste. Some recipes hide it well but I’d find it a bit overpowering in this one so I use agave.

TrainWithCharli These sound amazing! Where is the best place to buy these ingredients? 🙂

FusionFitness6 The majority of health food shops stock all of them. Then the egg moulds from cookware suppliers like Lakeland 🙂 x
