Delicious Boozy Easter Egg Treats
These Easter eggs are crafted from chocolate and filled with a mixture of cream and liqueur, creating a delightful combination of flavors. The preparation time is about 30 minutes, plus chilling time, and the recipe yields approximately 12 eggs.
Ingredients
- 8 oz dark chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup liqueur of choice (e.g., Baileys, rum, or vodka)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease Easter egg molds with cooking spray or use silicone molds for easy removal.
- Coat the Molds: Using a brush or spoon, coat the inside of the molds with melted chocolate. Ensure an even layer and let it set in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, liqueur, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Fill the Eggs: Once the chocolate shells have set, fill each egg half with the cream mixture, leaving a little space at the top.
- Seal the Eggs: Cover the filling with more melted chocolate to seal the eggs. Smooth the tops and refrigerate until fully set, about 30 minutes.
- Unmold and Decorate: Carefully remove the eggs from the molds. Decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter if desired. Serve chilled.
