Chocolate Covered Easter Eggs
These dairy-free chocolate shells with naturally-colored coconut cashew filling, make a fun, colorful, and much healthier Easter treat.
Servings: 8 small eggs
Ingredients
Easter Eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Natural food coloring: turmeric powder, spirulina powder, beetroot powder (start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more as needed)
Chocolate Shell
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (soy-free, dairy-free) {See Notes}
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 scoop Detox Organics Chocolate Superfoods Powder
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- For the Easter Eggs: Add all ingredients except the food coloring into a food processor and blitz until the cashews break down into tiny pieces and you get a sticky mixture. Do not over-process as you’d end up with nut butter.
- Divide the mix into 3 parts, take 2 parts out of the food processor and set aside. Add turmeric powder and blitz for a few seconds to combine. Roll into a ball and then press the top and side to shape like an egg. Set aside on a parchment paper-lined baking dish.
- Wipe the food processor and repeat the process with the next 1/3 of the mix. Add spirulina, blitz, form into eggs, and set aside. And once more using beetroot powder, until all the mixture is used up. Place the eggs into the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.
- For the Chocolate Shell: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small pot over low heat. Remove from heat once melted, add Detox Organics and sea salt, and stir to evenly combine.
- Assemble: Take the eggs out of the freezer. Dip them into the chocolate mix one by one to thoroughly coat. Place back on the lined baking dish and return to the freezer to set (about 15 minutes). Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the eggs to create patterns if you wish and place back in the freezer or fridge for another 15 minutes. Enjoy and store leftovers in the fridge.
