Ingredients:
- about 500 g / 17 oz of fresh dates
- 1 tablespoon of raw carob powder
- 1 teaspoon mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
- for each egg one almond or two raspberries or a couple of pomegranate seeds
Equipment:
- food processor
- decorative napkins, scissors and tape
Preparation:
- Remove the pits from the dates.
- Put the dates, carob, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in the food processor.
- Blend these ingredients until you get a dough like mixture.
- Sprinkle some carob on a tray and then add about half a spoon of the dough like mixture.
- Put either one almond or two raspberries or a couple of pomegranate seeds in the middle of the mixture.
- In a circular motion, press the mixture over the carob, forming it into an egg shape.
- Continue like this until you have used up all the mixture.
- Put these surprise eggs in the fridge and leave them to cool for a couple of hours.
- Divide each decorative napkin into quarters and prepare tape.
Take the surprise eggs out of the fridge. - Wrap each egg in one piece of napkin and tape it.
- If your napkins have a bunny pattern, like mine, form bunny ears… because what is a bunny without ears ?! 😉
- And now… guess which egg is with almonds, which with raspberries, and which with pomegranate!
