Raw Cacao Nest is a great recipe for Easter or can made at any time of the year. It is a great activity to do with kids.

The recipe is one I have adapted from a kids art and craft book….and have made it a bit healthier.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2/3 Cup of Raw Cacao
• 75g of shredded wheat (one sachet/packet)
• 3 Tablespoons of coconut oil (melted)
• 1/2 Cup of Maple Syrup or Rice Syrup
• Optional extra: 2 Tablespoons of shredded coconut
• Tinfoil or baking paper

PROCEDURE:

1. Scrunch up the shredded wheat into a bowl (add coconut if using). Combine melted coconut oil, maple syrup and raw cacao and pour it over the shredded wheat.
2. Line a medium sized bowl (like a dessert bowl) with tinfoil or baking paper (you should have enough mixture to make a small bowl as well).
3. Press the cacao mixture around the side of the bowl until it forms a nest (make a second nest with the remaining mixture)
4. Refrigerate for an hour or until next is completely set.
5. Remove from the fridge and remove the nest from the bowl and foil/paper.
6. Serve with Coconut Goji and Lime Bliss Balls (eggs)
7. Store in the fridge
