Nutella Chocolate Easter Eggs
Here's an easy 4 ingredient recipe for Nutella Chocolate Easter Eggs that will make your Easter so much sweeter! These eggs are a dream for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without the guilt. The blend of peanut butter powder, chocolate hazelnut spread, and almond milk creates a perfect balance of sweetness, fudginess, and creaminess that will leave you craving more.
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered peanut butter* (95g), such as PB Fit or PB2
- 3 Tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread of choice (55g), such as Nutella
- 3 Tbsp milk of choice , I used almond milk
- ½ cup chocolate chips , for coating
Instructions
- Use a spoon to transfer the peanut 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.
- Mix the peanut butter powder with chocolate hazelnut spread and milk, first USING A SPOON until small clumps form. 📝Note: This way, the dough will stick less to your fingers when you knead.
- Now use your hands to knead and compress the dough together. The key is not to use your fingers to knead, but to use the flat of your palm to press instead.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into balls, then slightly flatten to get the egg-like shape.
- Once shaped, let the peanut butter filling cool in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to coat in chocolate.
- 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.📝Note: 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.
- Dip the peanut butter eggs into the melted chocolate and drizzle with more chocolate on top. Sprinkle some chopped nuts or coarse salt on top if desired.
- Wait for the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*If you’re allergic to peanuts you can also use almond butter powder instead
