Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 white chocolate egg molds or pre-made white chocolate egg shells
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decoration Ingredients:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Melted dark chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Carefully melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and glossy.
- Gently coat chocolate molds with melted chocolate, tapping to eliminate air bubbles, then refrigerate for 15 minutes until firmly set.
- Whip marshmallow fluff with heavy cream and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and thoroughly blended.
- Extract hardened chocolate shells from molds or verify pre-made shells are pristine and moisture-free.
- Transfer marshmallow mixture into each chocolate egg shell using a piping bag or delicate spoon, ensuring even distribution.
- Enhance presentation by drizzling dark chocolate across the surface and lightly dusting with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
- Return filled chocolate eggs to refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes to solidify and intensify flavors before serving.
Notes
- Tempering Technique: Melt white chocolate gradually in short microwave bursts to prevent scorching and ensure smooth, glossy texture.
- Air Bubble Prevention: Gently tap filled molds against the counter to release trapped air, creating perfectly smooth chocolate shells.
- Filling Consistency: Whisk marshmallow mixture until light and fluffy, but not too runny, to maintain structural integrity inside the chocolate egg.
- Dairy-Free Adaptation: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk for a vegan-friendly version of the marshmallow filling.
