Method

Prepare the Truffle Mixture

  • Dice up the dark chocolate and butter into small cubes.
  • Place the dark chocolate cubes, butter cubes and thickened cream into a microwave safe bowl.
  • Microwave in 30 second intervals until the mixture is fully melted.
  • Thoroughly mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes to cool.

Mould the Truffle

With a Silicone Egg Mould

  • Transfer the mixture into a piping bag.
  • Fill an egg mould to the top and scrape off any excess with a spatula or knife.
  • Place the mould in the freezer and allow to set for 1 hour.
  • Apply a small amount of Truffle mixture to the centre of your egg halves, place a toothpick in the centre and glue together to create one whole egg.

Without a Mould:

  • Put the Truffle mixture into the fridge and allow to set for 2 hours
  • Once set, shape the mixture into an egg form with your hands
  • Slide a toothpick into the base of your egg
  • Return the shaped eggs to the fridge to set for another hour.

Coat egg in base layer of chocolate

  • Melt some White Chocolate Drip (or your selected colour of Chocolate Drip) and empty out the melted chocolate into a tall cup or glass.
  • Holding your toothpick, lower your Truffle egg into the chocolate until completely covered.
  • Slowly lift out, letting the excess drip off, then slowly twist the egg to stop dripping.
  • Allow the eggs to set upright until the chocolate is hard to the touch.

Time to Decorate!

  • Melt your selected Chocolate Drip colours.
  • To create a drizzle decoration, place your egg on a 90 degree angle over a piece of baking paper.
  • Quickly go back and forth over the egg with your Chocolate Drip to create horizontal stripes.
  • For sprinkle decorations, sprinkle your chosen sprinkles over the egg.
