Ingredients for Chocolate Easter Eggs

Chocolate shells: Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
Milk chocolate: 200g (or substitute with dark chocolate for a richer flavor).
White chocolate: 200g (or use colored candy melts for a festive touch).
Dried raspberries: 2 tbsp, crumbled (optional, for added texture and flavor).
Cheesecake filling: 1 cup (store-bought or homemade).
Mango jam: 1/2 cup (or substitute with any fruit jam of your choice).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the milk and white chocolate separately in a double boiler or microwave. Tip: Avoid overheating to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
Create the shells: Scoop 1 tsp of melted chocolate into a mould. Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly, alternating between milk and white chocolate to create a design. Repeat for all moulds.
Set the shells: Place the moulds in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to set. Once chilled, add a second layer of chocolate and refrigerate again until completely firm (about 20 minutes).
Remove the shells: Carefully loosen the chocolate shells from the moulds. Tip: Gently twist the mould to release the shells without breaking them.
Fill the eggs: Fill each egg half with 1 tsp of cheesecake filling and 1/2 tsp of mango jam. Sprinkle crumbled dried raspberries on top if desired.
Seal the eggs: Use a small amount of melted chocolate to seal the two halves together. Smooth the edges with your finger or a knife.
Final set: Place the sealed eggs back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set completely before serving.

Creative Filling Ideas for Your Easter Eggs

While the recipe suggests cheesecake filling and mango jam, feel free to get creative! Try nutella for a rich, chocolatey twist, or peanut butter for a nutty surprise. For a fruity option, mix lemon curd with whipped cream for a tangy, creamy filling. The possibilities are endless!

Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions

These chocolate Easter eggs are a showstopper on their own, but you can elevate them further. Serve with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for a refreshing contrast. For a festive touch, dust with edible glitter or sprinkle with crushed nuts before serving.

Storage Tips to Keep Your Eggs Fresh

Store your chocolate Easter eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you’re making them ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to a month—just thaw in the fridge before serving. Avoid leaving them at room temperature for too long, as the chocolate may soften.

Time-Saving Hacks for Busy Bakers

Short on time? Use pre-made chocolate shells instead of making your own. You can also prepare the fillings a day in advance and store them in the fridge. To speed up the setting process, place the moulds in the freezer for 10-15 minutes instead of the fridge.

Essential Equipment for Perfect Eggs

Invest in a good-quality egg-shaped mould for even, professional-looking shells. A silicone brush can help spread the chocolate smoothly, and a piping bag makes filling the eggs mess-free. Don’t forget a thermometer to ensure your chocolate doesn’t overheat!
