Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 1/4 cup natural, runny peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Can be replaced with honey.
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup almond flour Can be swapped with crushed graham crackers.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers Ghirardelli brand recommended.
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina Optional for color.
  • 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder Optional for color.
For the Speckles
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  2. Portion the peanut butter filling into 2-tablespoon portions. Roll each one into a ball using your hands, then gently shape each ball into an oval.
  3. Place the shaped eggs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze while you prepare the coating.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and water and set it aside.
  5. Add white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well until fully melted. Whisk in spirulina and matcha to adjust colors as desired.
Coating
  1. Dipping the eggs works best when semi-frozen. Stick a toothpick in the bottom of an egg, dip it in the white chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
  2. Wait until the white chocolate is mostly hardened before returning to the parchment paper and removing the toothpick.
  3. Dip a pastry brush in the cocoa powder/water mixture and flick the tip over the eggs for speckles.
  4. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, roughly 10 minutes, and enjoy!

Notes

Let the flavors meld by refrigerating for an hour before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week. Freeze before coating for longer storage.
