Low in Carbs – at only 2g net carbs everyone will love these for Easter.

Easy to Make – surprisingly very simple to make

Sugar free and gluten free – that’s right! No sugar or gluten in this recipe. Using keto chocolate for the coating and sugar free sweeteners keep these keto Easter eggs healthy and delicious!

Step 1. Melt chocolate and oil in the microwave, about 60-90 seconds.

Step 2. Spread the chocolate into the egg moulds. Swirl to coat well and pour the excess chocolate back into the bowl. Use a palate knife to clean up any spills on the mould and tidy the edges of the eggs. Place them into the freezer for 1-2 minutes then repeat the process will the remaining chocolate and removing any excess.

Step 3. Place onto a lined baking tray while you prepare the cheesecake filling. This will allow the chocolate to set at room temperature.

Step 4. To make the caramel; add butter, syrup, and cream to a small bowl. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stir and repeat. Do this until you have the desired thickness and consistency of caramel. I heat for 4 minutes and it gave a rich caramel that is not unlike a good chewy toffee.

Step 5. To make cheesecake; Mix the gelatin and water in a glass and microwave for 30 seconds. Add all ingredients to a food processor, including the dissolved gelatin; mix 30 sec/speed 5 or until thick, smooth and creamy.

Step 6. Construction; Remove the chocolate from the moulds. At this stage you can decide whether to fill each half of the egg with the cheesecake filling and caramel centre and join together OR just fill each half and serve them this way. Cut the top off and pipe the filling into the eggs. Chill until ready to serve and enjoy!

Top Tips for Perfect Keto Easter Eggs

Layering Flavours: For a multi-layered egg, allow each filling layer to set slightly before adding the next. This ensures distinct layers and a gourmet appearance.

Chocolate Tempering: To achieve a glossy finish and firm snap, temper your chocolate by melting two-thirds of it and then stirring in the remaining third off the heat.​

Mold Mastery: Ensure molds are completely dry before use. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.​

Serving Suggestions

Traditionally, these eggs are enjoyed as standalone treats. However, let’s get a bit adventurous:

Gift Boxes: Place a selection of these homemade eggs in decorative boxes as thoughtful gifts for friends and family.

Dessert Platter: Arrange assorted flavored eggs on a decorative plate alongside fresh berries and whipped cream.

Easter Egg Hunt: Wrap each egg in colourful, keto-friendly foil and hide them for a fun-filled, low-carb Easter egg hunt.​ Haha! For adults!
