Homemade Diabetic Chocolate Easter

Eggs

The words “Diabetic “and “Chocolate Easter Eggs” are not contradictions

in terms. Diabetic Chocolate Easter Eggs are being manufactured and are

for sale in some stores.

Caveat Emptor: Read the ingredients’ labels on food products very

carefully before you eat. Please be aware of the types of sweetener

available. Saccharine and other artificial sweeteners have been found to

have very serious health risks.

Introducing: Stevia, the generic name for a product available in some

health food shops and supermarkets is a safe sugar substitute.

People in Brazil and Paraguay have used stevia leaves as a sweetener for

centuries and have used it medicinally as a tonic, for hypertension and

acidity. Now the extract of sweet leaves is produced and sold in powder

form. The active compounds of stevia are called steviol glycosides,

stevioside and rebaudioside.

Would you like to make Diabetic Easter Eggs at home? Buy some Easter egg

moulds. Melt dark chocolate or cocoa nibs with cocoa butter in a balmory.

Add a little edible orange oil and stevia powder. Add according to your

taste. Mix. Remember less is more. Place melted chocolate in the oiled

moulds and place in the fridge. When the chocolate shells have solidified,

brush warm melted chocolate on the edge of the shells and place the 2

halves of the chocolate eggshells together.
