Let’s face it… A LOT of chocolate is going to be consumed this weekend. And sure why not, we say.

But while everyone enjoys stuffing their faces now and then, having a healthier alternative to a seasonal staple is no bad thing either.

Which is why we got all sorts of excited when we spotted this good-for-you raw chocolate orange egg recipe.

It comes from LifeCleanse and you can properly impress your diet-conscious friends because it’s actually oh-so easy to make.

It’s also completely sugar free, dairy free, and gluten free… which means it’s pretty guilt free too.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw organic cacao powder
• 1 cup Vita Coco coconut oil
• 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
• 1 tsp organic acai powder
• 2 drops organic wild orange essential oil* (eg doTerra)
• 1 pinch organic sea salt
• 2 avocados

*ensure to use food grade oil as not all essential oils are safe to be ingested.

1) Soften the coconut oil in a small measuring jug or bowl over a bowl of warm (not hot) water. Once liquid, add the vanilla extract and orange essential oil.

2) Next slowly stir in the cacao and acai. Add a small pinch of organic sea salt. Mix well.

3) Cut the avocados in half lengthways; remove the stone and spoon out the flesh. For this recipe we will be using just the skins, as natural Easter egg moulds.

4) Rub a small amount of coconut oil on the insides of the avocado shells to line them and carefully spoon in the chocolate orange mixture.

5) Sit the shells on a plate in the fridge and allow setting for 90 minutes. Once hard remove from the avocado shells using a warm spoon.
