Ingredients
- 150 grams Cacao butter
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 set Silicone egg molds
Directions
Step 1
Chop the cacao butter into small pieces to help it melt evenly.
Step 2
Set up a double boiler by filling a small pot with a bit of water and place a heatproof bowl on top (ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water).
Step 3
Place the chopped cacao butter into the bowl and melt over low heat. Stir occasionally with a spatula to ensure even melting.
Step 4
Once the cacao butter is fully melted and smooth, remove the bowl from the heat.
Step 5
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted cacao butter, stirring constantly to combine.
Step 6
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixture. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
Step 7
Pour the chocolate mixture into the silicone egg molds, gently tapping them on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Step 8
Place the molds on a flat tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate eggs are fully set and firm.
Step 9
Once set, carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the molds.
Step 10
Store the chocolate eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
