hey everyone and welcome back to my channel today is super exciting because
we're making some Easter treats for making peeps we're making cream eggs and
they are so delicious subscribe if you're new and let's just jump right in
the first thing we're making are these cream eggs which is my twist on your
regular Cadbury cream eggs I'm starting off with a double broiler and I'm adding
in some almond milk as well as some coconut butter and some cacao butter
which is different from coconut butter just from the cacao plant and a little
bit of vanilla you're gonna stir that until the cacao butter and the coconut
butter melt and it becomes nice and thick so this is what's gonna make the
base of our cream I'm taking about 4 tablespoons out and adding that to a
ramekin that I have a little bit of ground to marken and we're gonna use
this to make the yolk in the middle so it just adds that nice color without
adding any artificial colors I'm using my egg mold I'm taking a little bit of
paleo chocolate which you guys know I make on my channel all the time it's
just a mixture of coconut oil and cacao and I leave all the measurements in the
description box I'm adding in the cacao as well as the yolk that I chilled in
the fridge so I chilled it for an hour till it got a bit thicker you put in a
little bit of chocolate then you put in the white part then the yellow part and
then a little bit of chocolate more on top of your mold so you do need an egg
mold for this I found these smaller ones as opposed to the larger ones so if you
found a larger one you can make larger cream eggs or make these ones which are
kind of more of a mini egg size so go ahead and do that to all of them
layering your chocolate and then your cream in the center leave that in the
freezer for about an hour just to set and you have these wonderful cream eggs
no artificial colors no weird sweeteners and they taste delicious then we're
gonna make some marshmallow peeps and guys I'm so proud of this recipe so
we're using some water along with a cup full of honey now honey is a natural
sweetener so I do like that uses this versus high fructose corn syrup thinking
about marshmallows is that it's really hard to do some sugar free without using
harmful sugars which are things like aspartame sucralose and all that kind of
stuff you stay away from so you just whisk the
honey and the water together now if you are vegan you can use maple syrup but it
will have a maple leaf taste bring that to a boil for 10 minutes and then while
that is bringing to a boil I'm combining a little bit of water with some gelatin
and gelatin is what is going to make it kind of a marshmallow texture if you're
vegan you can use agar agar which is a mushroom plant it's from but it took a
vegan gelatin substitute add in the honey and then whisk that together until
it is nice and smooth then I'm going to be adding it a little bit of vanilla for
flavor and then whisking that with a hand mixer now you won't be able to do
this by hand so you do need a hand mixer because you won't get it nice and fluffy
after about five minutes it turns white like this and I'm adding in a tablespoon
of freeze-dried strawberries so that's what's gonna give us the peep color
depending on what color you want you would use the corresponding fruit or if
you have beetroot you can use that too so once you stir it in this is the
texture you get once the fruit is all combined I'm then putting it into my
Bunny molds now I couldn't find a bunny mold that was the size of the normal
peeps oh these are a bit larger you can always cut them in half when you eat
them and I will say through troubleshooting this that you should
probably spray the silicone mat even though it's silicone so that the
marshmallows pop out easier or coat them with an arrow root or tapioca starch so
that they're easier to pop out because I did have a little bit of a struggle
popping these out of the mold if you don't have a mold you could also just
pour it into a sheet pan as I'm showing you here and then use a cookie cutter so
the cookie cutter of a bunny shape and cookie cut out the marshmallows that way
so it's kind of two options here that I wanted to give you both are good ways to
do it then I just took some leftover paleo chocolate that I actually had from
the cream eggs and I made the two little eyes on the top of the peeps because
that's like the traditional ones have and I love the texture of these they
came out so bouncy the color isn't from harmful red dyes which are so bad for
you artificial colors are just probably one of the worst but especially red die
so we have this wonderful pink you can make them any color you want and
they taste delicious and they're made with good natural ingredients so I hope
