Description
A show-stopping dessert featuring a chocolate egg shell filled with passionfruit caramel, broken open to reveal a creamy, tangy center.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 150g granulated sugar
- 60ml water
- 120ml heavy cream
- 80ml passionfruit puree (strained)
- 50g unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Edible gold dust (optional, for decoration)
- Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then brush it into silicone egg molds in thin layers. Chill until set, then carefully unmold to create two chocolate egg halves.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Cook without stirring until it turns a deep amber color to make caramel.
- Remove caramel from heat and slowly whisk in heavy cream (be careful, it will bubble). Stir in passionfruit puree, butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Pour the passionfruit caramel into one chocolate egg half, leaving a small gap at the top. Place the other half on top and seal edges with melted chocolate. Chill until firm.
- Before serving, gently tap the egg with a spoon to crack it open. Dust with edible gold dust if desired, and serve with fresh berries and mint.
