Have you ever wanted to try making your own chocolate from scratch? Well now you can with this raw egg recipe.

Made from raw cacao powder and cacao butter and sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, these cracking little eggs are a delicious alternative to store-bought .

Stunningly decorated with vibrant fruit and vegetable powders, they make a beautiful gift or an attractive after dinner treat.

Raw vegan chocolate Easter egg moulds

We recommend a silicone egg mould for this recipe, as it’ll be much easier to get your eggs out in one piece.

Silicone egg moulds come in all shapes and sizes, and most will involve sticking together two egg halves to make a full egg. However, we like to serve these raw vegan chocolate eggs as bitesize solid eggs halves.

This recipe will make 6 ‘Creme Egg’-sized eggs, or one large egg if you have a big mould.

And they’re not just for Easter, either. This delicious dark chocolate can be made in any shaped mould you like for a tasty raw vegan treat any time of year.

How to decorate raw vegan chocolate eggs

The sky’s the limit when it comes to decorating these healthy dark chocolate eggs, but we love adding a splash of colour with dried fruit and vegetable powders, and a sprinkling of flower petals.

Edible gold leaf and powdered fruit and vegetables will stick to the hardened chocolate, but other ingredients will just slide off, so keep this in mind when serving up your treats.

For a more permanent option, place chopped nuts and dried fruit into the bottom of your mould before adding your melted chocolate. Once set, your chosen decorations will peek through the chocolate’s surface.

Alternatively, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the back of your moulded egg halves before the chocolate is fully set.

If you’re making a large chocolate egg, you’ll need to use a little extra melted chocolate to stick your two egg halves together.

You can also use any leftover melted chocolate as a ‘glue’ to stick your chosen decorations to the outside of your raw vegan Easter egg.
