This is a pretty web-famous, but still delicious, mock-up of the Cadbury treat. You can make deliciously flavoured fillings by changing the extracts (my current favourite is coconut white and lemon yolk ). Ingredients:
100 g corn syrup |
58 g butter |
375 g powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla (use clear if you want 100% white whites ) |
3/4 teaspoon sea salt |
5 drops yellow food coloring |
2 drops red food coloring |
bittersweet chocolate, for dipping |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat together corn syrup, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and sea salt.
2. Remove 1/3 of the mixture to another bowl and stir in the food colourings.
3. Chill 1 hour.
4. Roll 16 small balls of the yellow mixture and place on a plate, freeze until solid.
5. Make 16 pieces of the white mixture and flatten each into a rough disk.
6. Place one frozen yolk in the centre of each white and wrap the white mixture around it, smoothing into a rough egg shape.
7. Place completed eggs on a plate and chill.
8. Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and dip the eggs to coat.
9. Allow to harden completely at room temperature.
