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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the almond butter, honey, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Refrigerate the molds for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
Step 5
Spoon a teaspoon of the almond butter mixture into each chocolate shell. Ensure that the filling does not go above the mold cavity edge.
Step 6
Cover the almond butter mixture with more melted chocolate, ensuring the filling is completely sealed within the chocolate.
Step 7
Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles and smooth the chocolate surface.
Step 8
Refrigerate the filled molds for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
Step 9
Carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the mold and enjoy your heart-healthy treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
