Ingredients

Scale
White Chocolate Shell
- 1 cup coconut butter (not cocoa butter-see below)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened flax milk (or other unsweetened plant milk)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- pinch salt
Colorings (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder for yellow eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon pink pitaya powder for pink eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon purple sweet potato powder for purple eggs
- pinch of aqua blue spirulina powder for blue eggs
- (optional) 1/8-1/4 teaspoon matcha powder for green eggs
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons organic powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt the coconut butter in the microwave (in the jar, or if not a glass jar spoon it into a glass measuring cup or bowl).
- Pour 1/4 cup of coconut butter into 4 separate bowls (if you’re coloring them).
- Stir in one color per bowl.
- Place your egg mold onto a baking sheet, then pour half of each color into your egg mold (see mold I used below).
- Place in the freezer for about 15 minutes while you make the peanut butter filling.
- In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until a “paste” forms. It should be moldable between your fingers, not runny.
- Add peanut butter to each egg mold, leaving a border around the peanut butter so that when you pour the remaining white chocolate over top it surrounds the peanut butter.
- Pour the remaining white chocolate over top of the peanut butter and place back into the freezer until set.
**note: you may need to microwave the white chocolate in bowls for 10 seconds. Don’t microwave too long or it will cook and not be liquid. - Sprinkle with superfood powders if desired for the “speckled” look.
- Store in the freezer and thaw for about 10 minutes prior to enjoying.
