Keto Coconut Cream Easter Eggs
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut
- ½ cup Canned Coconut Cream shake can before measuring or softened cream cheese
- ⅓ cup Granulated Sweetener
- ⅓ cup Coconut Oil measure melted
- 4-5 drops Food Coloring optional
Chocolate coating
- 6 ounces Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate or >70% dark chocolate
- 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil measure melted
Instructions
- Place the silicone Easter egg mold on a plate or flat board. I am using two molds of fifteen 1.3-inch x 1-inch egg cavities. Set aside.
- In a food processor, add melted coconut oil, desiccated coconut, erythritol, and cream cheese (or canned coconut cream, shake can before measuring!).
- Process for at least 1 minute at high-speed. You may have to process for 20 seconds, stop, scrape down the bowl and repeat until it comes together into a fine wet coconut batter.
- If you want to add food coloring, do it now and process again to spread the color through the batter. You can also divide the batter into 3 bowls and stir few drops of different food coloring in each bowl to create unicorns color eggs.
- Fill each Easter egg mold with the coconut batter. Make sure you press firmly with your fingers to compact the batter.
- Freeze the eggs 10-15 minutes or until they firm up – this makes it easier to dip them into melted chocolate next.
- Meanwhile, prepare a baking sheet covered with oiled parchment paper. It must fit your freezer, otherwise use a few plates that fit the freezer size. Set aside.
- Just before you remove the eggs from the freezer, melt the chocolate to create their chocolate shell. Place the sugar-free chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave by 30-second bursts until fully melted, stirring in between.
- Remove the coconut egg silicone mold from the freezer and release each frozen eggs carefully.
- Then, using two forks, dip each egg into the melted chocolate. Wait for a few seconds above the bowl to drain the extra melted chocolate. Then, place each egg onto the baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Repeat until all the eggs have been dipped into chocolate.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer to set the chocolate shell – it takes about 10 minutes.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze and thaw 3 hours before eating.

Ingredients and Substitutions
So all you need to make these beautiful keto Easter eggs dairy-free are 5 natural ingredients:
- Unsweetened desiccated coconut – you can also use shredded coconut, but it takes longer to process into a paste.
- Cream cheese or canned coconut cream, if you are dairy-free, perfect for keto vegan Easter treats. Cream Cheese is one of the good keto-friendly dairy products!
- Erythritol – it’s a sugar-free keto-friendly sweetener, perfect for sweetening keto treats without carbs or calories. Other options are xylitol or Monk fruit erythritol extract.
- Coconut oil – you must use melted coconut oil for this recipe, or the eggs won’t firm up. If you don’t like the flavor of coconut oil, you can use refined coconut oil or cocoa butter. Both have no coconut flavor.
- Dark sugar-free chocolate chips – or 85% dark chocolate.
- Plant-based food coloring – this is optional, only use this to add some color to your eggs.
How To Make Keto Coconut Cream Easter Eggs
It is very easy to make creamy dairy-free coconut cream Easter eggs.
Combine the dough ingredients in a bowl
Split into 4 bowls and add food coloring.
Transfer the batter to a silicon mold and place in the freezer.
Unmold the eggs and melt the chocolate in a bowl.

You can store these chocolate eggs for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge. Don’t store them at room temperature, as they soften fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
One egg contains 3 grams of net carbs for a 1.3-inch x 1-inch egg.
Yes, you can use silicone molds of any other shape, but you must use a silicone mold, or the batter won’t hold together very well.
Sure, you can replace the canned coconut cream with cream cheese. This recipe intends to be dairy-free. That’s why it’s made with a dairy-free option. However, cream cheese would also work very well.
Split the batch of coconut batter into 3 different bowls. Next, stir 2-3 drops of natural food coloring in each bowl – I used blue, pink, and green. Then, fill the eggs with a combination of each color to form layers in a unicorn style.

How are you eating chocolate that is not sweetened?
I am eating sugar-free dark chocolate, it is chocolate sweetened with stevia! It is sweet in flavor without the sugar or carbs. Unsweetened chocolate is very bitter indeed and I don’t appreciate more than 85% cocoa chocolate. Enjoy ! XOXO Carine.
Im excited to make these with my daughters for easter, they look so fun and yummy! However, it is very hard to navigate your page as ads are always scrolling the page up as I am scrolling down, very frustrating.
Sorry for that! Are you navigating on phone or computer? The ad is what keeps the blog alive and we run as small as we can to cover the cost of food, site management. Let me know ! Happy easter! Enjoy the recipe. XOXO. Carine.
Hey Carine!
I am having trouble finding cacao that does not have SOY. Can I use cocoa powder and coconut oil to achieve the same results.
I am so glad I found you!

Yes sure you can make your own chocolate using a combo of cocoa powder and coconut oil. The color is usually darker but should work ! Enjoy the blog my friend. I am so glad to have your here! XOXO Carine.
