Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 grams unsweetened almond butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 50 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Begin by melting the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix the almond butter, honey, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cavity of a silicone egg mold to create a thin layer. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of each mold.
Refrigerate the molds for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
Spoon a teaspoon of the almond butter mixture into each chocolate shell. Ensure that the filling does not go above the mold cavity edge.
Cover the almond butter mixture with more melted chocolate, ensuring the filling is completely sealed within the chocolate.
Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles and smooth the chocolate surface.
Refrigerate the filled molds for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
Carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the mold and enjoy your heart-healthy treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
