How to Make Chocolate-Covered Cookie Dough Easter Eggs

We love delicious dessert recipes as much as the next foodie. However, if it has too many ingredients or too many steps, forget it. That’s what we love about this healthy Easter egg recipe. Not only is it unbelievably tasty, it’s also ridiculously easy to make.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the process so you can see for yourself just how simple DIY Easter egg chocolates can be.

1. Start with the Cookie Dough Base: To make the cookie dough, blend oats in a food processor until they form a fine flour-like texture. Mix in cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract, creating a smooth, sticky dough. These oat-based Easter treats are naturally gluten-free and packed with fiber, which makes them not just tasty but also nourishing.
2. Shape the Eggs: With your hands, mold the dough into small egg shapes and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once shaped, freeze the eggs for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
3. Dip in Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips along with a little coconut oil for a silky smooth coating. Dip each egg into the melted chocolate until fully coated and set them back on the tray. Pop them into the fridge or freezer to harden, and in no time, you’ll have your own homemade Easter candy.

Easy, right? This step-by-step process is as straightforward as it gets, making this easy chocolate Easter recipe perfect even for beginners.

If you’re of the mindset that some of the best family bonding moments happen in the kitchen, this healthy Easter egg recipe is definitely for you. There are plenty of to-dos for tiny hands while putting together this delicious treat. If you have children or grandchildren who’d like to help out, ask them to help measure out the ingredients. Then enlist their help rolling the cookie dough. If they’re old enough, children can also help with carefully dipping the “eggs” into the chocolate mixture.

If you really want to get creative, you can task your little ones with decorating the eggs by adding some edible decorations to the outside. Consider adding edible flowers or tiny slices of fruit.

Customizing Your Easter Eggs

The beauty of these No-bake cookie dough eggs lies in their adaptability. You can easily customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences or fit any holiday theme. Here are a few ideas to make them your own:

• Flavor Swaps: Replace cashew butter with peanut, almond or sunflower seed butter for a slightly different nutty taste.
• Add-Ins: Fold in a handful of chopped nuts, dried fruit or mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough for added texture.
• Decorate! Drizzle white chocolate over the eggs for a pretty design, or sprinkle crushed pistachios, shredded coconut or edible glitter while the chocolate is still wet.
• Holiday Shapes: These sweet little treats don’t have to make an appearance on your table just once a year. They can work for any holiday as a healthy dessert recipe. Use cookie cutters to create different shapes for any season, like hearts for Valentine’s Day or stars for Christmas.
• The options are endless! Even if it’s not a holiday, you can still add these delicious desserts to your spread by simply forming generic patties for an “anytime” version that will always jive with your Nutrisystem weight loss plan.
