Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 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
  • 1 pinch salt
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers Ghirardelli brand recommended
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina
  • 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder (or a 2:1 ratio of any blue and green food dye)
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder For speckles
  • 1 tablespoon water To mix with cocoa powder for speckles

Method
 

Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  2. Portion the peanut butter filling into 2-tablespoon portions and roll each into a ball. Shape them into ovals (egg-shaped).
  3. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
Prepare the Coating
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and water to prepare the speckle paint.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well each time. Adjust colors with spirulina and matcha as desired.
Coat the Eggs
  1. Work with semi-frozen eggs for the coating. Use a toothpick to dip each egg in the colored white chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  2. Wait until the chocolate hardens slightly, then remove the toothpick and place the egg back on the parchment paper.
  3. Using a pastry brush, flick the cocoa mixture over the eggs to create speckles.
  4. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Keep these eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
