Ingredients to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
You'll only need three ingredients for this recipe (as well as a pinch of salt). For the full amounts, check the recipe card below.
- Peanut butter - natural smooth peanut butter with no added sugar.
- Chocolate - this is the only tricky ingredient. You'll need sugar-free chocolate that uses sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit. Our favorite brand is Lily's Sweets, which makes stevia-sweetened chocolate with fewer calories and carbs.
- Cream cheese - full-fat cream cheese.
How to Make Keto Easter Eggs
- Prep a tray: Line a freezer-proof surface with baking paper. You can use a baking tray or chopping board, whatever you have available.
- Combine peanut butter and cream cheese: Take a large, freezer-proof mixing bowl and combine the cream cheese and peanut butter with a pinch of salt.
- Transfer to freezer: Mix everything well with a spatula, then place the bowl in the freezer to set for 10 minutes.
- Shape into eggs and freeze: Remove the mixture from the freezer and shape it into 12 eggs using your hands. You can also use an egg-shaped chocolate mold for this step. Place the eggs on your lined freezer-proof tray and return them to the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
- Melt the chocolate: In the meantime, melt your chopped chocolate/chocolate chips in the microwave. You can also use a double boiler if you have one available.
- Coat the eggs in chocolate: Now it's time to dip the eggs in the melted chocolate. Using toothpicks, skewers, or a spoon, dip each egg in the chocolate mixture, then transfer them back onto the tray.
- Refrigerate, then enjoy: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes until the chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
