Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ oz (70g) high quality semisweet chocolate (minimum 55% cocoa and up to 65%)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) hot water
  • ½ cup (130g) natural drippy smooth peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 2 tablespoon (30ml) maple syrup
  • ½ cup (50g) fine almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
  • â…› teaspoon salt
  • 6 oz (170g) pure white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon matcha powder
  • blue gel food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon (10ml) hot water

Instructions

  1. Chop the semisweet chocolate finely and place in a heatproof bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons of hot water and pour it over the chocolate.
  2. Cover and let it sit for a minute then whisk until smooth and glossy. If necessary, gently heat in the microwave for a few seconds until melted.
  3. Allow the ganache to cool for 30 minutes, then cover tightly and let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours until set.
  4. Scoop small teaspoons of the ganache, roll into smooth balls, and freeze them for 15 minutes to firm up.
  5. Combine peanut butter, maple syrup, almond flour, powdered sugar (if using), and salt in a bowl until well mixed. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  6. Roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into balls, flatten them, place a truffle inside, and shape into an egg.
  7. Place the eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm.
  8. Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in a heat-safe bowl over simmering water. Stir in food coloring to desired shade.
  9. Dip each egg into the melted chocolate, tapping to remove excess, and place them back on parchment to set.
  10. Mix cocoa powder with hot water, then use a brush to flick speckles over the eggs for decoration.
