Expert Tips and Tricks
Extra Pretty – Consider using a piping bag for a cleaner, more elegant presentation.
Add More Flavour – Halfway through piping the cream cheese into the egg; consider a swirl of fruit puree; or even jam for a tangy twist. Consider what liqueur you choose if you are going to add a fruit puree.
Make Ahead – You can prep the filling a day ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Just fill and garnish right before serving.
FAQ
What if My Chocolate Egg Wobbles? Set it in a bowl, egg cup or create a small nest with tinfoil to help it sit level.
Can I Make this Without Dairy? Yes! Use a plant-based cream cheese and coconut whipped cream as dairy free alternatives.
Kid Friendly? Although we’ve been having a lot of fun saying this is not a kid friendly dessert; it easily can be by removing the boozy additions and adding some fund sprinkles and candy toppings.
