Cheesecake keto Easter eggs are an easy Easter dessert! Sugar free chocolate easter egg shells are filled with a creamy cheesecake with a dollop of lemon curd for the finishing touch.
These keto Easter eggs are a great low carb and gluten-free alternative to a Creme Egg. The spoonful of lemon curd gives the egg a refreshing taste and breaks up the sweet flavour.
What you need to make these
For the chocolate egg shells we used a chocolate with high cocoa solids (which has less sugar) and melted it. A good brand to use is Lily's. Silicone egg molds were then brushed with the melted chocolate, placed in the freezer for 10 minutes, and brushed again with chocolate for a thicker layer of chocolate
How to make cheesecake filled keto Easter eggs
The beauty of this recipe is how easy it is to make! Once you have your chocolate shells you make the cheesecake mixture, fill them and dollop some sugar free lemon curd on it.
When making the cheesecake filling you need to make sure it is thick and creamy. You want it to hold well in the chocolate egg shell.
Recipe Tips
The chocolate egg shells should be thick so that they don't break when you are handling them. Two or three chocolate layers should be used.
Use other fillings in place of the cheesecake or give the cheesecake mixture a different flavour such as peanut butter. Sugar free chocolate or strawberry mousse would be another great filling.
If you don't have silicone egg molds, you could use small balloons to make the chocolate cases. Blow up the balloons into a small shape (try for an egg shape) then dip into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment paper baking tray. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes for the chocolate to set and repeat the dipping of the chocolate.
Make your own sugar-free chocolate with coconut oil, cocoa powder and sweetener.
How to Store
Once filled, keep the chocolate eggs in the refrigerator in a sealed container. They will last up to a week so can be made ahead of the holidays.
