cook time: 15 MINUTES

Bite into a sweet almond butter-filled chocolate-covered egg, a fun keto-approved candy!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup Swerve granular sweetener
- 4.5 oz. Lily's dark chocolate (or 1 and 1/2 keto chocolate bars)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil, for melting with chocolate
Directions
1
In a medium bowl, add butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond butter, and Swerve. Use a hand mixer to beat ingredients together until smooth, for about a minute.
2
Transfer the mixture to the egg molds and evenly fill them. If desired, you can use ice cube trays or mini baking cup liners instead.
3
Place mold in the freezer and let eggs freeze for at least a couple of hours to set.
4
Chop chocolate into small pieces and place them into a glass bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave for about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir the chocolate until completely smooth and melted.
5
Prepare a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Dip chilled eggs into chocolate to coat evenly. I used a toothpick to keep my fingers clean.
6
Place chocolate-covered eggs onto parchment paper, then place in freezer until set, for about 15 minutes or more. Enjoy!

Hip recipe tips for making the BEST Keto Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs:
- For the creamy and sweet filling, be sure to grab all-natural almond butter without added sugar. This could also be an opportunity to make your own keto almond butter using this recipe!
- I used Swerve as a sweetener, and it worked great! You can of course use your favorite keto-friendly sweetener brand.
- For the shell, I melted and then dipped my almond butter eggs in some stevia-sweetened Lily’s chocolate bars. I love how well this chocolate melts and sets up nicely. It tastes incredible too!
- You’ll need some fun egg-shaped molds and these non-stick silicone ones I picked up on Amazon.com worked out perfectly for this recipe! The eggs easily popped out of them once frozen.
- If you prefer peanut butter over almond butter, that can be used instead. Try adding sugar-free peanut butter to this recipe so you can enjoy keto peanut butter eggs!
This keto Easter dessert is egg-straordinary!
These are seriously YUMMY! If you’re tempted to eat any Easter candy over the holiday, these would be a great make-ahead treat idea to help keep you on track when the craving hits. I am honestly pretty picky about keto desserts as far as taste and texture go, and LOVED these so much.
I would store them in the fridge or freezer in a covered container. They will keep for about a month in the freezer, but let’s face it — these will go quickly! 😄
Can’t get enough chocolate? Feed your cravings over here!
PERFECT for Easter…thanks! 😃👍🏻
Yes! You’re welcome Rick 👍
Oh. My. Goodness. These are wonderful! I detest almond flour because it makes everything so dry and crumbly although I did take someone else’s suggestion to another recipe and added yogurt which made it much better. So when this recipe had no flour, I jumped on it! Forgot the sweetener so added about half with the chocolate. The first one was okay. The second, third and fourth ones were yum yum yum!
Yay! Thanks for taking the time to share with us! SO glad you enjoyed them! 🤗🥰🙌
These look yummy. I don’t eat a a lot of Almond products (It’s not really good for guys). But I will have to try these. Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Let us know how you like them! 💖
