At Easter it is a tradition for children to enjoy the typical chocolate eggs. Currently, we can find them in any pastry shop, with multiple flavors, fillings and colors, but what do you think about making them at home? Without a doubt, it is a much cheaper and more delicious option, as well as fun because it allows us to let our imagination run wild and make them to our liking.
However, if you are undecided and don’t know where to start, in this article we propose an idea that you will love if you are as sweet as we are: Easter eggs filled with caramel.
Ingredients to make Caramel Filled Easter Eggs:
- 200 grams of dark chocolate
- 80 grams of brown sugar
- 35 milliliters of milk cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
How to make Caramel Filled Easter Eggs:
- The first thing we must do to prepare the recipe for homemade Easter eggs is to prepare all the ingredients.
- We have used dark chocolate, but if you prefer you can opt for milk or white chocolate.
- When we have everything ready, we start! Prepare the caramelby heating the sugar and stirring from time to time to prevent it from burning.
- When it is ready, we remove it from the heat and add the milk cream, without stopping to move.
- Then, add the butter and return the preparation to the heat, stirring for 10 more minutes.
- Reserve the previous preparation to cool. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate and melt itin a water bath.
- Once this is done, cover the molds with the melted chocolate to make the Easter eggs.
- As you can see in the image, it is not about filling the mold, but about covering the walls of the mold to generate a thin layer of chocolate.
- Trick: Reserve melted chocolate to finish the eggs.
- Reserve the molds in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until you see that the chocolate hardens.
- Then, fill each egg with the previous caramel, occupying approximately 2/3 of its capacity. Then, cover the caramel with the remaining melted chocolate.
- Reserve the caramel-filled chocolate eggs in the refrigerator for about an hour. When they are ready, remove them from the mold and serve them.
- To join the halves and form whole caramel-filled chocolate Easter eggs, it is as simple as painting one part with melted chocolate, placing the other part on top by applying pressure and reserving the result in the fridge.
