Easter treat recipe – how to make a chocolate egg

You will need :
– 2.5 large chunks of milk chocolate
– Finely chopped dark chocolate
– 2 small pieces of white chocolate
– 2 plastic egg moulds 500 g (which can be found in bakerware shops)
– 1 large spoon ( wooden or plastic )
– spatula

Let’s get to work !
1. Place the chocolate pieces in a fireproof container and heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir the mixture. Repeat the process once or two times until the mixture is completely melted.
2. Add the chopped dark chocolate and mix well until it gets smooth. Pour the prepared mixture on both half eggs and and tilt them on all sides to cover every inch of the mould.

3. Pour back the excess in a bowl and scrape the edges with a flat spatula. Turn them upside down on a grid to let the remaining excess drip out.

4. Place the form in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. When the first chocolate layer is set, pour another layer of white chocolate and repeat.
5. Once completely cold, unmould each egg by carefully pulling the edges and tapping gently the egg. The egg should be at least 3 mm thick, otherwise it might break.
