Easter Eggs Recipe
This is a delicious Easter recipe, with a taste of chocolate but still healthy. Because a little bit of chocolate never hurt anyone, especially on these special days!
Portions: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 bar chocolate 70% cocoa
- 2 cups greek yogurt
- 3 to 4 tbsp granola to taste
- 6 eggs to use as molds
Instructions
- Start by preparing 6 eggs, which will serve as molds for the chocolate eggs. Since I don't have egg molds, I used raw eggs to help me.
- Wrap the raw eggs in cling film and leave a small tip out (the end where you close the wrapping), to help you hold them. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie (i.e., hot water bath)
- Once the chocolate is melted, dip half the eggs wrapped in cling film into the chocolate. Let the chocolate drip a little.
- Let the eggs rest on some ramekins or small bowls so that the chocolate part is facing up.
- Store the eggs in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 min.
- Take the eggs out of the refrigerator and carefully open the cling film and remove the raw egg.
- Again, very carefully, remove the cling film.
- Store the chocolate eggs in the refrigerator if they are not to be served immediately. Only add the filling when it's time to serve.
- If you want to serve immediately, fill the eggs with greek yogurt and sprinkle with granola.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Be careful because the chocolate layer will be very thin, so breaks easily.
If you want the eggs to have a more resistant chocolate layer, repeat the process of dipping the eggs in the chocolate one or two more times, always placing them in the refrigerator between times. This way you can fill them with a denser mixture without worrying about breaking them.
Instead of granola, you can use dried fruit. If you like pistachios, the eggs will be a beautiful color!
You can also use seeds, that would work too.
If there's any melted chocolate left, you can use it as a topping for your easter eggs.
If you have children and want to give them an extra treat, you can use colored sprinkles as a topping. I'm sure they will love it!
