Who said Easter treats have to be naughty? These Coconut Easter Nests are made with wholesome ingredients that provide nutrition rather than empty calories and they are a really cute way to present chocolate eggs at easter time!
There’s also a recipe for homemade chocolate eggs too, so if you are in the mood for making why not give them a go? Short on time but still want a healthier Easter treat? Pile in a selection of Loving Earth’s newest Easter egg creations - they’re delicious!
Ingredients
- Patty cake papers
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp coconut butter or tahini
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional: we left it out and thought they tasted great, but if you want some extra sweetness, add this in)
Method
- Line a muffin tray with your patty cake papers.
- In a medium bowl, mix together coconut butter, coconut cream, vanilla and coconut oil.
- Pour evenly into the patty cake papers and sprinkle with the shredded coconut to form nests.
- Place into the freezer to set.
RAW CHOCOLATE EASTER EGG INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup raw cacao
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup melted cacao butter (approx. 40 g)
- Mini easter egg molds
Method
- In a medium-sized bowl, heat the cacao butter, coconut oil and maple syrup over a double boiler until completely melted together.
- Remove from the heat and mix in raw cacao powder.
- Spoon chocolate mixture into egg molds and place in the freezer to set.
- Once nests and eggs are set, remove from freezer and top your nests with your raw chocolate eggs. We also topped some with crunchy granola and superfoods so we had a nice, healthy mix!
NOTE: If you’re short on time Loving Earth’s range of Easter Eggs work just as well in the Coconut Nests
