Directions
- Place a small saucepan filled a few inches high with cold water over a low heat.
- Put the cacao butter into a bowl and place on top of the saucepan, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Melt the cacao butter very gently over the low heat, it could take about 10 minutes.
- When melted remove from the heat and add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt and raw cacao powder. Stir together well.
- Keep stirring for a few minutes and the chocolate will thicken to a smooth, thick consistency.
- Get your egg mould out and spoon some chocolate into the first egg half mould. Tilt the mould back and forth so that the chocolate covers the whole mould.
- Place into the freezer immediately for 10 minutes to set.
- Repeat with the other egg half mould.
- Once set, gently pop the chocolate eggs out of the moulds.
- Working quickly, use a little bit of the leftover melted chocolate to dab a bit around the edges of one of the egg halves using a skewer or teaspoon. Then stick the other egg half to it and place back in the freezer for a few minutes to set as a whole egg!
- Decorate how you fancy and enjoy your healthy easter eggs :)
