Ingredients
1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
Date Paste:
5 dates, pitted
1.5 T water
1/8 – 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating:
1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
2 tsp. coconut oil
Instructions
1.) In a medium-size bowl, mix almond butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup together and set aside.
2.) If your dates are not soft and fresh, soak them in very hot water for 10-15 minutes and drain before using. Place the softened dates, water, and vanilla in a food processor and blend until it resembles a paste and set aside.
3.) Take a scoop of the almond butter mixture and form into egg shapes and press down in the center to leave a spot for the date/caramel paste. Spoon a little on top of the egg and repeat until you are finished with both. You should have about 15 or more egg shapes, depending on how big you make them. We suggest making them about as thick as traditional Reese’s cup. place them on a tray and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
4.) In a medium-size microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil. You should do this in about 30-second increments and stir in between so the chocolate doesn’t burn. While the chocolate is melted, dip your frozen egg shapes into the chocolate making sure all sides are covered. Allow to cool on a piece of wax paper to harden or freeze to harden even more quickly. Store in the refrigerator, eat cold or bring them to room temperature – either way, they are delicious!
