A fun recipe that is sure to be a hit with everyone
Servings: 2
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small/medium Chocolate Easter Egg
  • 300 ml Double Cream
  • 3 Digestive Biscuits
  • 25 g Unsalted Butter
  • 70 g Icing Sugar
  • 180 g Cream Cheese (Philadelpia or similar)
  • Mini Eggs and Mini Malteaser Bunnies or whatever chocolate/sweets you like to Decorate

Method
 

  1. Unwrap the Easter Egg and place it on a large dinner plate or tray. If you buy Cadbury Easter Eggs they are already split in half so save a lot of mess and hassle trying to split the egg.
  2. Crush the biscuits into crumbs - place the biscuits into a small bag and break them up using a wooden spoon or rolling pin. You don't want any big bits but be careful not to split the bag or the biscuit crumbs will go everywhere. Alternatively, you can use a blender.
  3. Melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat, when melted stir in the biscuit crumbs. Spoon half of the mixture into each of the chocolate egg shells.
  4. Using a hand mixer, whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks. Beat in the cheese and then stir in the icing sugar - do this carefully as the icing sugar will go everywhere if you are too rough.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the chocolate shells and put in the fridge to set - allow at least 2 - 3 hours for this.
  6. Decorate your eggs as you wish. I used whole and crushed Mini Eggs and a Mini Malteaster Bunny on one egg and Milk Chocolate Buttons and a Mini Bunny on the other.
