Instructions

. Create the Dark Chocolate Shells

  1. Melt the dark chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in coconut oil for extra shine.
  2. Coat the molds: Pour melted chocolate into egg-shaped silicone molds, tilting to coat the sides evenly.
  3. Set the shells: Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes, then apply a second layer of chocolate for a sturdier shell. Chill again until firm.

2. Prepare the Filling

  • Ganache: Heat cream until warm (not boiling), then pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
  • Nut Butter: Mix nut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil until creamy.
  • Coconut Cream: Blend shredded coconut with condensed milk and vanilla until combined.

3. Fill & Seal the Eggs

  1. Fill each chocolate shell with your chosen filling, leaving a little space at the top.
  2. Seal with more melted chocolate and smooth the edges. Chill for 20 minutes until set.

4. Decorate & Serve

  • Carefully remove the chocolate eggs from the molds.
  • Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and decorate with crisped pearls or edible gold leaf for an elegant touch.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make It Vegan: Use dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut-based fillings.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
