Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Chop the cacao butter into small pieces to help it melt evenly.
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).
Place the chopped cacao butter into the bowl and melt over low heat. Stir occasionally with a spatula to ensure even melting.
Once the cacao butter is fully melted and smooth, remove the bowl from the heat.
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted cacao butter, stirring constantly to combine.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixture. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the silicone egg molds, gently tapping them on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Place the molds on a flat tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate eggs are fully set and firm.
Once set, carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the molds.
Store the chocolate eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
