Begin by chopping the cacao butter into small pieces to ensure even melting.
Create a double boiler by filling a small saucepan with an inch or two of water and placing a heatproof bowl on top so it rests above the water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Bring the water to a gentle simmer, then add the chopped cacao butter to the heatproof bowl.
Stir the cacao butter until fully melted and smooth.
Once melted, carefully sift in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and non-dairy milk powder to the melted cacao butter. Stir continually to prevent clumping.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, and stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, stirring occasionally.
Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone egg molds, tapping the molds gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
Place the molds into the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate eggs are fully set.
Once set, remove the eggs from the molds carefully.
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container until ready to serve.
