Low carb peanut butter egg?

Stephie_J

Does anyone have a recipe for a Low Carb chocolate peanut butter egg with ingredients I could find in the UK please?

I have found some that use icing sugar and normal milk chocolate but they don't sound very low in carbs!

"Healthified" Peanut Butter Eggs:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or coconut oil, softened
1 (18 ounce) jar creamy NATURAL peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered erythritol* and 1 tsp stevia glycerite (or 1 cup xylitol)
6 cups no sugar added semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup coconut oil or butter

Using a coffee grinder, grind the sweetener until a fine powder to resemble powdered sugar. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Beat in sweetener. Form rounded tablespoonfuls into egg shapes. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill for 30 minutes.

In a microwave-safe bowl or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil, stir until smooth. Dip eggs until coated; place on waxed paper to harden.

For more decorative eggs, place about 1/4 cup melted chocolate in a small plastic bag. Cut a hole in the corner of the bag; pipe chocolate over tops of eggs. Store in the refrigerator.
