Keto Dark Chocolate Easter Egg Recipe

KETO, LOW CARB & GLUTEN-FREE HOMEMADE DARK CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS

Making your own Easter eggs is much easier than you might think and means that you can enjoy low-sugar, low-carb Easter treats that are free from harmful refined sugars and are Keto friendly! This recipe includes coconut oil and added collagen peptides for a healthful dose of essential amino acids and good quality fats - turns out the Easter bunny is on a health kick!

IS DARK CHOCOLATE HEALTHY?

Dark chocolate is free from the heaps of added refined sugars you will find in conventional milk chocolate. It has a very high percentage of cocoa (the higher the better), which is derived from the seed of the cacao tree and is a 100% natural, real food ingredient. Amongst other healthful nutrients, high percentage dark chocolate is a great source of antioxidants.

🍫 We love Montezuma's 100% Absolute Black Dark Chocolate which is the highest percentage of cocoa you can get!

HOW CAN I MAKE MY OWN EASTER EGGS?

You may have never considered making your own Easter eggs before, as on the surface it looks pretty tricky! You do need a silicone egg mould to make your chocolate eggs, but aside from that it's actually pretty straightforward.

🐣 We used an 8 egg mould like this one for our recipe

There's only 3 real food ingredients and once they're melted together you simply pour them into the non-stick moulds. Once set, your Easter eggs will easily pop out and are ready to be decorated. 

IS COCONUT OIL HEALTHY?

Coconut oil is an extremely healthful fat which is a great addition to Low Carb, Keto and Paleo lifestyles. Coconut oil is a good source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT's) which provide an efficient source of energy for the body and also help to boost levels of HDL or 'good' cholesterol.

Hunter & Gather MCT Oil is 100% coconut derived and is a pure source of MCTs. It has a neutral taste and is easily added to food and drinks for a healthful dose of essential fatty acids. You can learn more about MCT Oil in the articles below.
