Raw Raspberry Cream Eggs
Raw Raspberry Cream Eggs
Makes 10
1 1/2 cups raw coconut butter (not oil) warmed to liquid
1/4 cup raw coconut nectar, or maple syrup
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp rosewater (optional)
1 cup pureed organic raspberries
1 tsp beet powder
a pinch sea salt
1 1/2 cups raw dark chocolate chunks, or chopped raw dark chocolate
Note: all ingredients in this recipe must be at room temperature or warmer or when you mix them together they will clump up. Whisk together all ingredients until well combined, and scoop out the mixture by the mounded Tbsp (so it will be about 2 Tbsp each) onto a foil lined tray. Once they are all scooped out, place in the freezer for a few minutes to take away the sticky-ness on the outside, then shape each mound with your hands into little eggs (they do not need to look perfect, mine didn't). Place in the freezer for 30 minutes at least to harden. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a bowl (I like to place mine in the dehydrator until it melts). Set the bowl next to the tray of eggs. Dip each one into the chocolate and place back on the tray (I use a fork and set the chocolate on it before dipping). Place the tray of chocolates back in the freezer once they are all dipped for a few minutes to set the chocolate. Meanwhile, to make the drizzle, whisk together all ingredients, adding a little water at a time (1 Tbsp) until it reaches glaze consistency. It will be clumpy at first, but it will smooth out. Drizzle over the eggs (I put it in a ziplock bag, and cut the corner off and squeezed it out). Place in the freezer again for about 10 minutes to set, then enjoy! Store extra in the fridge.

How are there no comments on this recipe yet??? These look ah-maaa-zing!<br /><br />I've really been wanting to get into making raw desserts - my dad has such a sweet tooth, and even he (bless his little heart) has been trying to choose healthier sweets; instead of Breyers ice cream, he's been going for Stonyfield Organic fro-yo bars. But something tells me that a candy-lover (particularly, an EASTER-candy-lover) such as himself would really like these eggs . . . Hmmm, and his birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks . . . I think I know what I need to make him. ;)<br /><br />Beautiful work, as always!! Also - your carrot salad looks ridiculously good. Actually, funny story: I'm currently trying to abstain from those yummy orange veggies, as last summer I developed perhaps too great of a love for them; my skin took on a rather . . . yellow tinge. And my palms and soles? Orange. Orange, orange, orange. I *LOVE* carrots with peanut butter, but in hopes that my skin will return to its normal color (it's almost there!), I'm settling for celery. ;)<br /><br />As a side note . . . have you ever had PB + carrots? If not, please try the combo asap - I bet it would be excellent with your raw peanut butter!
I am happy you were the first one, I always enjoy your comments Sunnie :)! <br />You should try making them, they are often times easier than baked ones, and I am sure your Dad would love them too! <br />Thank you so much! Funny about the carrots, I had the same thing happen with squash a few years back haha! My Mom said I had a "squash tan". I will have to try the carrots with PB!
Amy, your website is amazing
Made these yesterday - super easy and delicious! Appreciate all the recipes and your creativity! Did you mention somewhere you have a recipe book in the works?
So happy you enjoyed them :)! I have one book already published, which there is a link to at the top of the page, and I am working on another one with mostly new recipes and savory dishes as well. It is due out mid summer.
