Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Dark chocolate
  • 6 ounces White chocolate
  • 1- 1.5 inch egg mould
  • 1 tub marshmallow creme
  • Yellow food coloring

Instructions

  • Melt the dark and white chocolate in separate containers according to package directions
  • Drizzle chocolate into each mould and freeze for 1 minute.
  • Add ½ teaspoon of co-ordinating chocolate and use a pastry brush to an even layer.
  • Freeze for 1 minute, then repeat this process one more time.
  • Remove shells from moulds and neaten the edges with a sharp knife.
  • Add melted chocolate to the edge and ‘glue’ 2 half of the shells together.
  • Fill in any gaps with melted chocolate and small brush. Freeze for 1 minute to set.
  • Add the shells to an empty egg container so they stand upright.
  • Warm a small sharp knife under hot water and dry.
  • Cut the tops off the egg shells, just like a soft boiled egg.
  • Take ⅓ of the marshmallow creme and add to a bowl.
  • Mix in yellow food coloring until the yellow matches the color of egg yolk.
  • To a microwave-safe bowl add the rest of the marshmallow creme and microwave for 20 seconds to soften.
  • Spoon into a small disposable piping bag or ziptop bag. Snip of a corner and pipe the white marshmallow creme into the egg shells with the tops removed. Fill to the top.
  • Add a small amount of yellow marshmallow to the center.
