Golden Eggs: Pepita Butter and Caramelized White Chocolate

Golden Eggs: Pepita Butter and Caramelized White Chocolate

These Golden Eggs are perfect bite-sized treats that are low in sugar and full of good for you ingredients. A caramelized white chocolate shell filled with nutty pumpkin seed butter.

Ingredients

Pepita Filling:

• 1/4 cup pumpkin seed butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup, agave, or another sweetener of choice
• 1-2 tablespoons almond flour, depending on how thick or gooey you’d like your filling to be

Caramelized White Chocolate Shell

• 1/2 cup cashew butter
• 1/3 heaping cup cacao butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1-2 tablespoons rice syrup, maple syrup, or another sweetener of choice
• 1/4 teaspoon maca powder (optional)
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Combine the Pepita filling ingredients in a small bowl, adding the almond flour last. Mix until thoroughly combined (I used a fork). Spoon bite-sized balls of the filling onto a parchment-lined tray, plate, or box and put into the freezer to harden for at least 30 minutes.
2. Make the Caramelized White Chocolate Shell
3. Drop the Pepita Filling balls into the Caramelised White Chocolate and transfer onto a parchment-lined tray, plate, or box. The coating will harden pretty quickly, but you can also put it into the freezer to speed up the process. I recommend storing these Golden Eggs in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

• Instead of making your own chocolate shell, you can always melt any chocolate bar you wish to make the prep even easier.
