CARAMEL CREME EASTER EGGS
Prep Time: 10 minutes / Cook Time: 10 minutes / Set Time: 1 hour / Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 cup Changing Habits Cacao Melts
3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust quantity to taste)
Pinch Changing Habits Seaweed Salt Caramel Filling: 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 200ml coconut cream, 4 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
Method
Place the Easter Egg moulds in the freezer to chill.
Combine the coconut oil, salt, cacao melts and honey into a pan over a low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Leave to cool slightly.
Remove the moulds from the freezer and spoon the cacao mixture into each mould with a teaspoon so that it spreads quite thick and even along the edges. If it is too thin it will crack when removing from the moulds. Save a small amount of mixture to join the eggs when set.
Put in the freezer for about an hour.
Place all caramel filling ingredients into a pan on medium-high heat until mixture starts to bubble, turn down to medium for a further 5 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.
Remove moulds from freezer and remove the eggs from the moulds. Spoon the caramel mixture into one half of the egg. Use the remaining mixture to join the two halves together and place back in the freezer to set.
Store in the refrigerator.
