Making your own homeade Easter chocolates means you can control the ingredients and sugar content! These treats are allergy-friendly being dairy-frere, gluten-free and nut-free! They use:

•Tahini paste: This seed paste makes your chocolate eggs healthier than the store-bought which are typically filled with high fructose sugary centers. Tahini paste is highly nutritious and has a creaminess than makes

Easy and Unfussy to Make

To make your chocolate eggs you simply need mix up your flour, sweetener and tahini in a bowl, and form flat eggs shapes, then place in the freezer.

While you’re waiting for your egg centers to freeze you then melt your baker’s chocolate with coconut oil over the stove. If you’ve never done this before, don’t worry it’s super quick and easy!

Simply add your coconut oil and chocolate (chop it first so it melts evenly) to a heat proof bowl and set it over a pot of boiling water. Your bowl should hover over the water not be immersed in it. Simply stir with a spatula until it melts!

Once your egg centers have been chilled in the freezer for 20 minutes you’ll dip both sides of them in your melted chocolate and place on parchment. Then they go back in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill again.

Take them out and drizzle chocolate on top as decoration then pop back in the freezer until you want to eat them!
