Easy no-bake chocolate Easter eggs recipe
Ingredients:
200g of good quality chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
Easter egg silicone molds (available online or at baking supply stores)
A double boiler or a bowl that fits over a saucepan
A spatula or pastry brush
Optional fillings: mini marshmallows, nuts, dried fruits, crushed cookies, or peanut butter
No-oven, no-microwave hack
If you don’t have a microwave or oven, here’s a foolproof way to melt chocolate:
Set up a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
Melt the chocolate: Break your chocolate into small pieces and add to the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula as it begins to melt, until smooth and glossy.
Let it cool slightly: Allow the chocolate to cool for a minute or two. You want it to be slightly thick, not runny, for easy moulding.
Making the chocolate easter eggs
Coat the moulds: Use a spoon or pastry brush to evenly coat the inside of each egg mould with a layer of melted chocolate.
Chill: Pop the moulds in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set. Then repeat for a second coat for a thicker shell and chill again.
Add fillings (optional): Once the shells are firm, you can add your favourite fillings into one half; keep it light to allow sealing.
Seal the eggs: Warm the edge of one half (gently press against a warm plate) and press the two halves together. Hold until sealed.
Decorate: Use melted white chocolate, sprinkles, edible glitter, or icing pens to decorate your eggs once fully set.
Final touch: Gift or indulge!
Wrap your homemade Easter eggs in coloured foil, tuck them into baskets, or simply enjoy them with your morning coffee. This easy method is proof that festive fun doesn’t need fancy gadgets, just good chocolate and a little creativity.
