Pin win! I tried these adorable cheesecake filled chocolate eggs I found on Pinterest and they turned out perfect!
The pin was from raspberri cupcakes and with a few adjustments I was proud to put these on the Easter table.
First of all I couldn't find premade hollow chocolate eggs so I had to make my own. No mold-no problem. I just worked with a half egg mold I had.....I would love to show how I did it for you but apparently cheap molds shouldn't go in the dish washer.....who knew! Let's just hope you can find a 3D egg mold so you can have an easier time. I trimmed off that ridge of chocolate to get a smooth joint.
raspberri cupcakes' cheesecake recipe was delicious but instead of the passion fruit yolk she used, I made up a batch of lemon curd. Dyed it a deep orange to more resemble a rich yolk. Also I piped in the fillings instead of using a spoon to shove it in.
One other adjustment. I made my eggs freestanding by putting a blob of melted chocolate on wax paper and setting an egg on each blob. You have to hold them steady for a bit but it worked out great. If you have enough egg cups you could avoid this step. Pretty impressive huh. Kind of like a Cadsbury egg! But much more delicious.
