- Unsweetened Powdered Almond Butter - Powdered Almond Butter (I highly recommend the Barney Butter brand because it has a pale cream color and is not brown like the others) is a defatted powdered almond butter that's low in fat, low in calories and high in protein. Like powdered peanut butter, it's meant to be mixed with water and spread onto toasts and the like, but we'll be using it as a thickener for our "frosting" recipe.
- Greek Yogurt - I used Fat-Free Plain Greek Yogurt. Before using, be sure to drain any excess liquid (whey).
- NOTE: You can also use a dairy-free yogurt like almond milk yogurt, but because dairy-free yogurt tends to be thinner than Greek Yogurt, you may have to add more powdered almond butter to get the dough to the right consistency.
- Freeze Dried Strawberries - We'll need to first prepare the strawberry powder by processing the freeze-dried strawberries in a mini blender until they turn into a fine powder. Alternatively, you can place the strawberries in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Sugar of Choice – I used monk fruit sweetener in this recipe to keep this recipe low-sugar and low carb, but raw cane sugar, coconut, date, and maple sugars are perfectly acceptable substitutes.
- White Chocolate Chips - you can use any chocolate chips in this recipe. I like this lower sugar, stevia-sweetened brand. To keep this vegan, you can also use this vegan white chocolate chip made with rice.

How to Make
Homemade Strawberry Greek Yogurt Easter Eggs
STEP 1
Use a spoon to transfer the almond butter powder into the measuring cup then level it with a knife.
📝Note: this helps to avoid packing the powder which can lead to using more powder than needed.
STEP 2
Mix the almond butter powder with strawberry powder and sugar of choice
STEP 3
Add the Greek Yogurt.
STEP 4
First use a spoon to incorporate the dry and wet ingredients together until small clumps form. This way, the dough will stick less to your fingers when you knead.
STEP 5
Now use your hands to bring the dough together. The key is not to use your fingers to knead, but to use the flat of your palm to press instead, otherwise, you'll end up with the filling mixture all over your fingers.
If the dough seems too sticky, feel free to add 1-2 Tbsp more almond butter powder to adjust the consistency.
Divide the dough into 6 portions using a knife. Shape each portion into balls, then slightly flatten to get the egg-like shape.
STEP 6
For best results, let the eggs cool in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to coat in chocolate.
STEP 7
Melt the chocolate for glazing - place ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Afterward, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is smooth and melted, about 1 minute total.
TIP: I also add a ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate after melting. This is optional, but it helps to thin out the chocolate so that we get an even, glossy coating. It also helps to cut down on the amount of chocolate that gets on the eggs.
STEP 8
Dip the strawberry easter eggs into the melted chocolate
STEP 9
Drizzle with more chocolate on top.
STEP 10
Enjoy!

Final Tips
- The biggest tip for using your hands to bring the dough together is to PRESS not KNEAD. If you use your fingers to knead the filling mixture will get all over your fingers, but if you use the flat of your palm to press instead the shaping will be so much easier!
- You can always control the consistency of the filling by adding more or less almond butter powder. To make it thicker, add more nut butter powder. To make it thinner, add a teaspoon of milk or water.
- I always add a ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This helps to thin out the chocolate so that we get an even, glossy coating on the Easter eggs. It also helps to cut down on the amount of chocolate that gets on the eggs, too.
