Ingredients
Scale
Filling Option 1
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 ½ Tablespoons maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Filling Option 2
- ¼ cup powdered peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 pitted medjool dates, roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Chocolate Coating
- 2 ½ Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 ½ Tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 8 drops of liquid stevia
- 1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Make filling option 1: In a medium bowl, combine natural peanut butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Make filling option 2: In a food processor, blend powdered peanut butter, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chopped dates, and sea salt until the mixture forms a ball of dough—this should take about one minute.
- Form eggs: Break off small pieces of dough, approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons each, and shape them into egg forms by hand. Place each egg on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about one hour to firm up.
- Prepare the chocolate coating: Once the peanut butter eggs are frozen solid, mix the cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, liquid stevia, and maple syrup in a bowl to create a smooth chocolate dipping sauce.
- Dip eggs: Remove the eggs from the freezer one by one and dip them into the prepared chocolate coating. Use a fork to lift them out and allow excess chocolate to drip off. If there’s remaining chocolate, drizzle it over the dipped eggs for extra decoration.
- Chill to set: Place the chocolate-coated eggs back onto the parchment-lined tray and return them to the freezer to harden. They will be ready to eat within a few minutes and should be stored frozen. Remove a few minutes before eating to allow them to thaw slightly for the best texture.
Notes
- You can choose either filling option depending on your preference—option 1 is more straightforward, while option 2 incorporates dates for natural sweetness.
- Using liquid stevia helps keep the chocolate coating sugar-free if desired.
- Store leftover eggs in the freezer to maintain freshness; they thaw quickly and are ready to eat within 1 to 2 minutes outside the freezer.
- For a nut-free variation, you could experiment with seed butters instead of peanut butter, though the texture and flavor will vary.
