Ingredients
For the chocolate eggs:
- 200 g dark or milk chocolate chips
For the cheesecake filling:
- 200 g ricotta cheese well drained
- 60 g demerara or icing sugar or honey
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 passion fruit seeds removed
Instructions
- To make the eggs, melt ⅔ of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, remove from the heat and mix in the remaining chocolate chips.
- With the help of a brush spread the chocolate around each egg mould. If you spread it too thinly, you may need to brush them twice.
- Freeze for about 5 mins, then gently pop the shells out of their moulds.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl mix together ricotta, orange juice and zest, vanilla and sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Fill each shell with a little cheesecake filling and pour ½ teaspoon of passion fruit pulp in the center.
- Use any leftover melted chocolate to brush the edges of each filled shell, then glue two half-shells together.
- Freeze for about 5 mins, then serve. Store leftover eggs in the fridge for up to 3 days.
