Sugar-Free Homemade Almond Joy Bars

If your favorite candy bar before going on a sugar free diet was Almond Joy bars, you are going to love this quick and easy recipe!

These Sugar Free Almond Joy Easter eggs are essentially fat bombs. A fat bomb recipe is usually a combination of some sort of healthy fat, like grass fed butter, coconut oil, nuts, nut butters or seeds to make an easy keto snack.

The keto diet is all about low carb and healthy fats so that your body will get into a state of ketosis.

When you're hungry, eating something with a little bit of a healthy amount of fat will keep you satiated and won't spike your insulin as much as something with high carbs that would increase blood sugar levels. It will also help keep you full for a longer period of time.

In my opinion keto treats can be enjoyed on occasion, especially for a holiday. If you're following a ketogenic diet you may feel like enjoying a daily keto treat, or you may feel dessert ideas, even keto recipes should be avoided.

Do what works for you whether you are on a low-carb diet or following a keto lifestyle.

How to Make Keto Almond Joy Bars or Bounty Bars

I made egg shaped Almond Joys for Easter, but you can totally just pile the coconut filling into a large cookie scoop to make into bars and place them onto a parchment lined baking tray then cover in Lily's chocolate then place in the fridge to set.

If you have a nut allergy or just can't use almonds to make a homemade almond joy recipe, you can remove the almonds and almond flour and you'll have a chewy coconut Mounds bar or also called Bounty bar.

Swap the almond flour with sunflower seed flour.

How to Make Easter Almond Joy Keto Chocolate Eggs

Exact ingredient measurements, and nutritional information are located below at the bottom of this blog post in the recipe card.

Ingredients

Filling

heavy cream

unsweetened coconut butter

Swerve confectioners sweetener or Liquid Monk Fruit Sweetener

unsweetened shredded coconut

almond flour

whole almonds

optional: almond extract or vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

sugar-free chocolate

coconut oil

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over a medium heat until it comes to a very low simmer, about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the coconut butter, continuing stirring with a spatula until smooth. Add the sweetener, coconut and almond flour and stir to combine. Let the coconut mixture stand for about 5 mins or place in the fridge for a few minutes to let the mix thicken.

Heat chocolate and coconut oil in a glass mixing bowl over a pan filled with a little hot water, until melted, or use a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in-between.

Brush / use the back of a teaspoon to coat the inside of the silicone egg mold with a thin layer of chocolate mixture. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set. Add another layer of chocolate to the shell and place in the freezer again for 5 minutes more to set.

Add the filling to each egg until almost to the top. Add 1 almond to the center of each egg and top with a thin layer of melted chocolate. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes - 1 hour to fully harden.

Repeat for all the remaining chocolate and eggs.

Storage: Place in an airtight container in fridge for 5 days or freezer for 2 months.

Can I make this dairy free?

You can make these dairy free by swapping the heavy cream with coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk.

Can I change the sweetener?

There are so many keto-friendly sweeteners on the market today. If you're not a fan of using Swerve confectioners sweetener you can use any sugar-free alternatives you prefer. I'd recommend this Monk Fruit in liquid form because it has no aftertaste.

Use my Sweetener Guide and Conversion Chart to help determine the right amount for your taste buds.

It's always best to use a small amount of sweetener, then taste and adjust if needed. You can always add more if needed, but it's really hard to correct a recipe if it's too sweet.

Can I make these Easter eggs smaller?

Sure, if you want to turn these into bite-sized treats you can make 24 smaller Easter eggs. This is the smaller Easter egg mold I would recommend.
