Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup natural or runny peanut butter no sugar added
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers we use Ghirardelli brand
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina + 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder or use a 2:1 ratio of any blue and green food dye
- For the speckles 1 teaspoon cocoa powder + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl and blend until smooth.
- Divide the filling into 2-tablespoon portions, then roll each portion into a ball and shape it into an oval egg form with your hands. Place the shaped eggs on parchment paper and freeze them while preparing the coating.
- Mix the cocoa powder and water in a small bowl for the speckles and set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate with coconut oil in the microwave using short intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Stir in the spirulina and matcha or alternative food coloring and adjust the color as needed. Transfer the mixture to a short glass or similar container.
- While the eggs are semi-frozen, insert a toothpick into each and dip into the colored white chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Once the coating firms slightly, place the eggs on parchment and carefully remove the toothpicks before the chocolate hardens completely to avoid cracking.
- Use a pastry brush dipped in the cocoa-water mixture to flick speckles over the eggs from about 8 inches above. Refrigerate the eggs for around 10 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Notes
- If you don’t have blue spirulina or matcha, any blue and green food coloring can be used to dye the white chocolate
- Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator or keep frozen for up to 4 months, allowing them to thaw slightly before serving
