Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 12 whole almonds
  • 3 ounces sugar-free chocolate (dark or milk, your choice) chopped
  • 1/2 ounce cocoa butter

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a simmer and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sweetener and extract.
  3. Stir in the shredded coconut. Let mixture cool 5 to 10 minutes to thicken.
  4. Scoop out onto the prepared baking sheet, making 12 even mounds. Using your spoon, shape the mounds into ovals or egg shapes. Place on almond on top of each, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
  6. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt chocolate and cocoa butter together until smooth.
  7. Dip the frozen mounds into the chocolate coating with a fork and tap fork firmly against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place back on waxed paper and let set, 10 to 20 minutes.

Notes

– For the smoothest chocolate coating, ensure your cocoa butter is fully melted and incorporated before dipping. A small amount of coconut oil can also help thin the chocolate if needed.
– To prevent the chocolate from seizing, make sure no water gets into your chocolate mixture when melting over simmering water. Even a tiny drop can cause it to stiffen.
– Storage: Store these Keto Almond Joy Easter Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow them to thaw slightly before enjoying.
