VEGAN EASTER EGGS

Easter isn’t the same without a small vegan Easter egg, right? These healthy alternatives are totally gluten-free, dairy-free and 100% vegan! No more searching for the perfect vegan egg!

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup almond meal
• 2Tbsp organic cacao powder
• 1 Tbsp ground coffee beans
• 7-8 dates pitted
• pinch sea salt flakes
• Chocolate Coating
• 200 grams dark vegan chocolate

Toppings

• 1 zest of lime
• 1 zest of orange
• 3Tbsp rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

1. In a small bowl soak the medjool dates with hot water for approximately 5 minutes.
2. Into a food processor place the walnuts and almond meal. Pulse a few times until it resembles “wet sand”.
3. Add in the cacao powder and ground coffee. Pulse again a few times, until just blended. It will resemble brownish sand!
4. Next, add the medjool dates and sea salt. Pulse until the mixture turns into a dough consistency and starts riding the “S” blade. (The medjool dates have absorbed water and will give the mixture the right amount of liquid and sweetness).
5. Take 1 Tablespoon of dough and roll into an oblong or “egg” shape between your palms. Place onto a plate. Repeat. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes or refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. For best results, place in the fridge overnight.

Chocolate Coating

1. Get to mixing bowls the of the same size. Fill the lower bowl with a small amount of boiling water. Place the other bowl into the bowl with boiling water. The top bowl (will have the chocolate in it) shouldn’t touch the hot water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is just melted and dip away.

Decorate

1. Use your favourite toppings to decorate with. Have fun!
