Geode Chocolate Eggs

Course: snacks
Cuisine: american
Keyword: chocolate

Ingredients

  • chocolate or candy melts melted
  • 8 oz white chocolate melted
  • scant ¾ cup whipping cream hot
  • pinch of salt
  • rock candy in a variety of colours crushed

Instructions

  • First, make the ganache. Combine the white chocolate, salt and whipping cream in a bowl. Place in the freezer until thickened, about 1 hour.
  • Spread some melted chocolate or candy melts onto the inside of an egg-shaped chocolate mold. Place this in the freezer until the chocolate has set.
  • Beat the ganache with an electric mixer until it lightens in colour and consistency – it should look whipped and hold stiff peaks. Place it into a piping bag fitted with a large, round tip.
  • Keep the chocolate eggs in the molds and pipe some ganache onto the inside of the eggs.
  • Fill the eggs with rock candy, starting with a dark colour in the middle and working outwards into a lighter colour.
  • Transfer the eggs to the freezer for the ganache to stiffen, about 30 minutes. Then unmold the eggs and enjoy! Note: it’s much easier to unmold the eggs when they are filled with the ganache and rock candy, instead of unmolding just the shells.
