Chocolate truffle Easter eggs couldn’t be easier to make – they just require two ingredients! This is a dairy free, vegan, and allergy friendly recipe that’s just right for the holidays.
Easter…such a candy-filled holiday! It’s second only to Halloween, isn’t it?
If you’re a food allergy mom, you may just steer clear of the candy aisle at this time of year. It’s too much…all the cute little foil wrapped bunnies and eggs, the pastel candies, the pretty baskets of treats – all full of dairy, nuts, and gluten. You might even feel a little sad about the festive treats you have to pass by.
And yes, you can visit the store and grab some candy by Enjoy Life or Surf Sweets, but if you want to do chocolate eggs or bunnies, you’re probably going to need to make them yourself. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be difficult to make yummy holiday candy!
These chocolate truffle Easter eggs are so easy to make – they just require two ingredients.
Ingredient Notes
- Dairy Free Chocolate Chips – Both Enjoy Life and PASCHA Chocolate make dairy free chocolate chips. You can use any brand that you like, though.
- Coconut Cream – I like Native Forest brand for coconut milk and coconut cream.
Special Equipment
You do need some type of egg mold – I used this one (affiliate link), and I was able to find it at JoAnn Fabrics. You could probably use any shape mold – hearts, stars, circles, etc.
I recommend a silicone mold – it’s much easier to get the candies to pop out in one piece.
Storage
Store these candies in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 5 days.

Recipe
Chocolate Truffle Easter Eggs
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dairy free dark chocolate chips
- 2 ½ Tablespoons coconut cream
- 2 Tablespoons dairy free white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Divide the dairy free chocolate chips into 3 bowls – a half cup in each bowl. Place the first bowl in the microwave and microwave for one minute, then stir. Microwave for 15 more seconds, then stir again until melted and smooth
- Use a small spoon to spoon and smooth the chocolate into the silicone egg mold (or any candy mold you desire). Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or so until the chocolate is firm.
- Melt the next bowl of chocolate chips in the same way and stir until smooth. Add the coconut cream and stir to combine. Let this filing cool for 5 or 10 minutes, then spoon into the egg mold over the chocolate shells. Place in the refrigerator to allow to firm up for about 10 minutes.
- Melt the final bowl of chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. Smooth this melted chocolate over the chocolate truffle filling, and place the egg mold back in the refrigerator. Allow to chill for about 10-15 minutes.
- If you would like to drizzle melted white chocolate or dark chocolate over the top, melt it in the microwave and set it aside to cool slightly so you don’t melt the coating on the eggs.
- Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Turn the egg mold over it and gently remove the eggs. Line them up on the cookie sheet and drizzle with chocolate as desired. Place in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Hi Kelly,
These sound so good, but was wondering how to make them sugar free?
I need to limit my sugar intake.

Is it coconut MILK (which you link to) or is it coconut Cream (which is what the recipe says)? These look so good, so I want to make sure.

Hi Susan! I should have clarified that in the post. I’m sorry! The So Delicious Culinary Coconut Milk is VERY thick, like coconut cream. I consider it to be coconut cream. You could use any coconut cream though! Or you could refrigerate a can of full fat coconut milk and just scoop the cream off the top.
Susan
Thanks!

This looks great but we have dairy and coconut sensitivities to avoid-any suggestions on what could sub for the coconut cream?

I’m not sure…is there a dairy free cream cheese you like and can use? That may work!
