Cook Time: -
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 6 eggs
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Add maple syrup, coconut cream, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, pliable dough forms that can be easily shaped.
- Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to help it firm up and become easier to handle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using clean hands, take small portions of the dough and roll into egg-shaped balls, approximately 1-2 inches in length.
- Create a small indentation in the center of each egg to mimic the classic Cadbury Creme Egg shape. Use the back of a small spoon to gently press and form the cavity.
- Place the shaped eggs on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes to help them maintain their shape.
- Melt the dairy-free chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure smooth consistency.
- Using a dipping fork or spoon, carefully coat each egg in melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Return the chocolate-coated eggs to the parchment paper and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
- Store the Paleo Vegan Cadbury Creme Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Chill Out: Refrigerating the dough makes it much easier to shape. If the mixture feels too sticky, add a touch more almond flour.
- Shape with Care: Use clean, slightly damp hands when forming the egg shapes to prevent sticking and achieve a smooth surface.
- Chocolate Coating Trick: Ensure your melted chocolate is at the right temperature - not too hot, not too cold - for a perfect, glossy finish.
- Precision Matters: Use a small spoon or the back of a teaspoon to create the perfect egg-shaped cavity for that authentic Cadbury look.
- Storage Hack: These eggs freeze beautifully! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month for a quick, decadent treat.Pro tip: For an extra indulgent version, experiment with different dairy-free chocolate types or add a drop of peppermint extract for a minty twist!
