Where do I find hollow chocolate eggs?
Hollow chocolate eggs are a really common Easter candy. They are sold almost anywhere Easter candy is sold. If you can’t find them in your local stores, they are also available on Amazon. You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate depending on personal preference and what you can find.
How do you cut off the tops?
Use a sharp knife and it should be able to slide right through the chocolate. If you are having difficulty, run the knife under hot water to warm it up and it should glide right through.
What is the best way to pipe the cheesecake filling into the eggs?
Transfer all of your cheesecake filling to a disposable piping bag, or ziploc bag. Snip off the end. Place the end of the bag into the bottom of an empty chocolate egg shell and gently squeeze, pulling up slowly as the egg fills with the cheesecake filling.
What is the best way to add in the “yolk” filling?
First, you’ll need to create a small indentation in the cheesecake filling. You can use a very small spoon to scoop out a small crater, or just use your finger to create a small indentation. You can either carefully drip the yolk filling mixture into this indentation, or use a piping bag with a small tip.
