“We all have our favourite chocolate bars so why not fill an Easter egg with them?”
This recipe was created by Vegan Chef Day.
Prep time - 60 minutes
Cook time - 20 minutes
Difficulty - Difficult
Serves / makes - 8 eggs
We used an 8 egg mould. Each egg is 8cm tall/long.
You won’t need to make all of this recipe depending on which type of egg you want to make. You can decide to make all one flavour, two flavours or all six!
Fillings
Krunch bar - puffed rice/krispies mixed with melted chocolate
Peanut krunch bar - puffed rice/krispies and crushed peanuts mixed with melted chocolate
British Milky Way - nougat only
US Milky Way / British Mars Bar - caramel on top / nougat on bottom
Snickers - caramel mixed with peanut on top / nougat on bottom
Double Decker - nougat on top / krispies mixed with melted chocolate on top
Ingredients
60g cooking chocolate
Equipment
Saucepan
Bowl
Spoon
Method
You will need to melt 10g chocolate for each egg you want to make. We made 6. Put the chocolate in a bowl in a pan of water on a high heat until all of the chocolate has melted.
Pour the chocolate into the mould pushing the chocolate up the sides and over the edge. You will have a messy edge but that’s ok.
Allow this to set then make the filling.
Ingredients
Nougat
40g soaked cashews (soaked in hot water for at least 20 mins)
1T syrup (agave, rice, fruit)
60ml plant milk
20g melted chocolate
Caramel
120g dates (if your dates aren’t soft soak in hot water for 10-20 mins)
20g soaked cashews
1T syrup
1T water
Method
Blend the nougat until smooth, then blend the caramel until smooth.
Add a layer of caramel, then a layer of nougat to the eggs. (You can add other fillings, see the top of the page for our suggestions)
Melt another 10g chocolate per mould.
Add this to the egg and smooth over, sealing the edges.
Allow them to set for a few hours at room temperature.
Once they are set remove them carefully from the moulds.
Trim the edges with a sharp knife, you can use these chocolate bits as decoration.
Melt a little chocolate and drip onto the front of the eggs. Use some of the other ingredients finely chopped (puffed rice, peanuts, chocolate bits) to add to the egg as decoration.
Put the eggs into the freezer.
The krunch bars can be left to set at room temperature. Milky Way, mars bar, snickers and double decker all need to be frozen. In this recipe we made a Mars Bar.
