When you think of Easter, you think of chocolate bunnies and pastel-coloured Easter eggs, right?! I have had a few friends begging me to post a chocolate dessert, so I thought this would be the perfect time to pair the colours and flavours of spring with chocolate. I must admit, this isn’t my recipe but it is so easy, healthy and delicious, I had to share. I changed it a bit by using kiwi, blueberry and raspberry instead of the original strawberry (which was amazing as well, I just couldn’t find fresh strawberries at the local market!).
Go ahead, have more than one! The only ingredients are fruit, pure maple syrup and coconut, wrapped in antioxidant-rich dark chocolate! They can be made ahead but ensure to keep them in the fridge after the final step of freezing. I find leaving them out on the counter for at least 15 minutes before eating helps soften the creme center as well.
On another note, since taking this holistic nutrition class, I have learned of the detrimental effects of chemicals on the digestive system, nervous system, immune system…basically every bodily mechanism you can think of. The more toxins we bombard our body with, the harder it is on our liver and intestinal system to process them, thus causing inflammation and setting the stage for many diseases such as allergies, autoimmune diseases and sometimes, cancer. I haven’t dyed eggs for Easter yet, but wanted to share this great article I found: “Dyeing Easter Eggs Naturally“.
I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend and treats themselves to a bit of Easter chocolate!
