Description
Delightful peanut butter eggs coated in white chocolate, perfect for festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup natural, 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 (Ghirardelli recommended)
- 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)
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder + 1 tablespoon water (for speckling)
Instructions
- Beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Portion the peanut butter filling into 2-tablespoon portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball using your hands, then shape each ball into an oval (egg-shaped).
- Place the shaped eggs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze while you prepare the coating.
- Whisk together the cocoa powder and water in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the bowl in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted.
- Whisk in the spirulina and matcha (or food coloring) and adjust colors as desired.
- Pour the melted mixture into a short drinking glass or a similar vessel.
- Stick a toothpick in the bottom of a semi-frozen egg, then dip it in the white chocolate.
- Let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Wait until the white chocolate is mostly hardened, then return to the parchment paper and remove the toothpick.
- Dip a pastry brush into the cocoa powder/water mixture.
- Flick the tip of the pastry brush over the eggs to create speckles.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate dries out (~10 minutes).
