Directions

Equipment Needed

1 medium glass bowl
1 pot
Silicone egg molds
Basting brush
Rubber spatula

Directions

To create a double boiler - heat 2 cups of water in the pot to a simmer and place the glass bowl overtop the pot. Keep the heat on low and pour in the chocolate chips. Stir occasionally using the rubber spatula to make sure the chocolate melts evenly.
Meanwhile, place the silicone molds on a small plate or baking sheet that can easily be moved into the freezer.
Once the chips are melted, pour enough chocolate into each mold to ensure a thick layer. Brush up the sides to create an even coating. Pour out any excess if needed. Then, place the whole sheet in your freezer for 10-15 minutes. Reserve a little chocolate for fusing the eggs.
Meanwhile, prepare your fillings. After the molds have solidified, remove them from the freezer, carefully peel them from the shapes and working quickly, fill half with whichever toppings you’d like.
Using the melted chocolate (reheat over the double boiler if necessary), brush a layer on the exterior edge of the unfilled halves. Carefully press them together until they hold. Repeat with the remaining eggs and return to the fridge or freezer to help solidify.
Remove and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Melting the chocolate chips

Do not melt the chocolate chips in a microwave! They can burn very quickly.
Make sure that no water overflows into the bowl while you are melting the chocolate.

Pouring the chocolate into molds

Too thin - the shape will crack when you try and remove it.
Too thick - there won’t be enough room for filling and the ratio will be off.

Filling the eggs

The colder the eggs are, the easier they will be to work with.
Fill only one half so it’s easier to fuse.
