Ingredients
- 1 easter egg medium size, dark chocolate (or 4 small eggs)
- 250 g chocolate 9 oz, dark
- 30 g unsalted butter 1 oz
- 250 ml whipping cream 1 cup, fresh
Instructions
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Once this is done, take a small saucepan and place in the whipping cream and the butter. Bring ALMOST to a boil on low heat so DON'T boil the cream. When you see that the butter has melted and the first bubbles appear around the edges of the saucepan, turn off the heat.
- Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
- When ready, let it cool for 10 minutes, stirring the mixture from time to time.
- Place the melted chocolate in a large bowl and whisk it with an electric stand mixer for ten minutes or until it is puffy and soft.
- Meanwhile, heat the blade of a knife on the fire, then cut the Easter egg exactly at the junction point of the two halves. The hot blade will melt the chocolate, so that it doesn't break.
- Fill the chocolate egg with the ganache, then decorate with strawberries and cookies, as you like. Serve Easter Eggs filled with Chocolate Ganache on Easter Sunday as a dessert, you will really impress your guests!
