Ingredients:
Ingredients for the Cookie Dough:
-
120g smooth runny cashew butter
-
4 tbsp maple syrup
-
60g thick dairy-free yoghurt e.g. coconut
-
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
-
150g oat flour
-
100g almond flour
-
40g vegan vanilla protein powder, or more almond flour
-
10g freeze-dried raspberry pieces
-
60g low sugar dark chocolate chips
-
A pinch of salt
Ingredients for the chocolate coating:
-
200g low sugar dark chocolate, chopped
-
1 tbsp coconut oil
-
1 tbsp freeze-dried raspberry pieces
-
1 tbsp vegan sprinkles
Method:
-
Start by making the cookie dough. Add the cashew butter, maple syrup, yoghurt and coconut oil to a bowl and stir until smooth. Now add in the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder (if using) and salt. Stir to a thick, sticky cookie dough.
-
Pour in the freeze-dried raspberry pieces and chocolate chips and stir well. Bring to a ball of dough.
-
Place the cookie dough on a piece of parchment on a work surface and roll out to 2-cm thick. Use an egg-shaped cutter (or similar) to cut out eggs, placing them on a parchment lined tray. Repeat to use all the cookie dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.
-
Place the trays of cookie dough eggs in the freezer for 1 hour, until set firm.
-
Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a heatproof bowl and warm together over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave until melted.
-
Dip the cookie dough eggs in the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off and return to the parchment. Sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries and sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat with all of the eggs.

Serve straight away with a cold Remedy Kombucha Raspberry Lemonade and enjoy. Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for 1 month. Enjoy from the freezer or allow to defrost for 20 minutes.
