Ingredients

1 cup powdered almond butter , use Barney's Almond Butter Powder for the best color
2 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice , I used monk fruit sweetener
2 Tbsp honey , for flavor. Can use more sugar
¾ cup ricotta cheese , can be skim or full fat
⅔ cup chocolate chips , melted

Instructions

Mix 1 cup of Barney's almond butter powder with sugar of choice
Add the ricotta cheese and honey first USING A SPOON until most of the cheese has been incorporated.
Now use your hands to knead and compress the dough together.
Check the consistency while mixing. For a thicker, fudgy filling texture, add 1 Tbsp more of almond butter powder. For a creamier filling, use the filling as is, or add more ricotta cheese
Roll the mixture into balls, then slightly flatten to get the egg-like shape. If too soft, you can always refrigerate or freeze the filling before shaping.
Once shaped, let the ricotta filling cool in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to coat in chocolate.
Coat the eggs in melted chocolate
Drizzle with more chocolate (optional - white chocolate), then wait for the chocolate to set.
Enjoy!
