Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • ½ cup natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1¼ cups cornflakes, crushed into small pieces

Chocolate Coating

  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth. Stir in the crushed cornflakes until the mixture is evenly coated and forms a moldable dough-like consistency.
  2. Shape the Eggs: Using a spoon, scoop out 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape each into small egg shapes by hand. Place the shaped eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for 20 to 30 minutes until they firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler on stovetop, melt the dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil until smooth and glossy. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly but remain pourable.
  4. Dip the Eggs: Remove the eggs from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each egg into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped eggs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle some crushed cornflakes or a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating for added texture and flavor.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the chocolate-coated eggs in the freezer or refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set completely. Once firm, serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use almond butter or peanut butter according to preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Crushing cornflakes finely helps in molding the filling better.
  • Ensure chocolate is not too hot when dipping to avoid melting the filling.
  • Store finished eggs in a cool place or refrigerator to maintain firmness.
  • Optional toppings like crushed nuts or sea salt add extra flavor and crunch.
