HOW TO MAKE VEGAN EASTER EGGS AT HOME
It really is super simple.
First, we mix all ingredients in a bowl util sticky dough forms.
We then fill the egg moulds with the cookie dough and chill them in the freezer for an hour (or overnight).
Finally, once they’re chilled, we drizzle them with melted dark chocolate. That’s it my friends!
THESE HEALTHY VEGAN COOKIE DOUGH SNACKS ARE NOT JUST FOR EASTER
You can shape the cookie dough mixture into snack size balls – they make perfect snacks! Alternatively, you can use it as a base for raw vegan cakes or bars.
HOW TO STORE
Personally, I prefer storing these homemade Easter eggs in an airtight container in the freezer. I love their slightly firmer bite when they come out of the freezer. However, if you prefer them a little softer, keep them in the fridge. They’ll last in the freezer for up to 3 months and in the fridge for up to a week.
