CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER EASTER EGGS INGREDIENTS:

See VARIATIONS at the bottom of this blog post for change-ups you can make to your tasty Easter egg treats!

  • Almond Butter. My favorite almond butter is made with roasted almonds and nothing else! I use Costco Kirkland brand almond butter, btw.
  • Maple syrup. You can use whatever sweetener you like, but maple syrup is particularly yum in this recipe because it’s sweet without being too sweet! 
  • Vanilla. I add a splash for extra sweetness and flavor! 
  • Coconut oil. This ingredient holds the truffle ingredients together. 
  • Almond flour. I LOVE almond flour. It is the right consistency for this recipe. I have not tried other flours, but if you do, leave a comment below and let me know how to turned out!
  • NOTE: Depending on the size of the moulds you use, you may need more or less chocolate. I make at least a cup of melted chocolate to start, and I make sure to have at least another cup of chocolate at the ready, in case I need it.
  • EQUIPMENT: It’s helpful to have a pastry brush to apply the chocolate to the mould.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER EASTER EGGS:

For best results, make sure to freeze the chocolate layer before adding the filling. And to make the filling easier to work with, let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until you can scoop it into small portions without it dripping.

  1. Melt the chocolate according to package instructions. Using a pastry brush, brush the chocolate onto the cavities of the mould. You may need to apply more than one layer to coat the entire portion of each cavity. Place in the freezer to set, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from the freezer and add any more chocolate in places where the chocolate didn’t hold the first time. Place back in the freezer until all chocolate has solidified and the insides of the cavities are painted in chocolate.
  2. While the chocolate is setting, in a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, melted coconut oil, and almond flour. The batter will be soft, so place it in the fridge for approximately 30 minutes, or until you can scoop it into teaspoonfuls to insert in the moulds.
  3. Using a teaspoon, place dollops of batter in each mould cavity. Add only as much filling as can be evenly smoothed out in the mould without overflowing. This will be important when you apply more chocolate to seal the egg.
  4. Once you’ve added the filling and smoothed it out in each cavity, use another teaspoon to drizzle chocolate over the bottom of each egg. This will seal the filling side and make it easier to remove the egg from the mould later.
  5. Place the eggs back in the freezer for another 15 minutes. When you are ready to remove the eggs from the mould cavities, avoid popping the eggs out from the bottom. Instead, using both hands, carefully pull the sides away from the egg. Once the egg is loosened on all sides, then you can try to carefully pop the egg out of the mould. If you have excess chocolate around the sides, break it off by hand or use a table knife to break it off. Additionally, you can use the same table knife as a file to chisel away any uneven chocolate around the edges.
  6. Keep frozen in an airtight container until ready to enjoy. Chocolate eggs are best for about 1-2 weeks.

VARIATIONS:

Not only can you substitute ingredients, you can also switch up the mould you use!

  • Nut butter: Instead of almond butter, try cashew butter, hazelnut butter, or sun butter
  • Sweetener: We used maple syrup (vegan or paleo) but you can also use 100% pure honey (paleo) or agave nectar (vegan).
  • Chocolate: Instead of chocolate chips, melt dark chocolate pieces and add in any sweetener you’d like. Add a splash of vanilla or almond extract, too, if desired.
  • Moulds: I used mini egg moulds for this recipe, but any mould will do. Small ice cube trays will work, too. Keep in mind you may need to adjust the amount of chocolate you use to account for the varying mould sizes. Yields may also vary.
