Homemade Pistachio Easter Eggs Recipe - All Purpose Veggies (2024)

Use a spoon to transfer the almond butter powder into the measuring cup then level it with a knife.

📝Note: this helps to avoid packing the powder which can lead to using more powder than needed.

Mix the almond butter powder with milk and pistachio butter.

First use a spoon to incorporate the dry and wet ingredients together until small clumps form. This way, the dough will stick less to your fingers when you knead.

Now use your hands to bring the dough together. The key is not to use your fingers to knead, but to use the flat of your palm to press instead, otherwise, you'll end up with the pistachio-almond butter mixture all over your fingers.

If the dough seems too sticky, feel free to add 1-2 Tbsp more almond butter powder to adjust the consistency.

Divide the dough into 6 portions using a knife. Shape each portion into balls, then slightly flatten to get the egg-like shape.

For best results, let the eggs cool in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to coat in chocolate.

Melt the chocolate for glazing - place ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Afterward, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is smooth and melted, about 1 minute total.

Mix in the pistachio butter.

TIP: I also add a ½ teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate after melting. This is optional, but it helps to thin out the chocolate so that we get an even, glossy coating. It also helps to cut down on the amount of chocolate that gets on the eggs.

Dip the pistachio butter eggs into the melted chocolate and drizzle with more chocolate on top.

Sprinkle on some crushed pistachio nuts on top if desired.

Enjoy!
