Equipment

  • Double Boiler
  • Silicone egg molds
  • saucepan
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 60 ml water
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 80 ml passionfruit puree (strained)
  • 50 g unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • edible gold dust (optional, for decoration)
  • fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

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.

Notes
