Recipe Summary Homemade Chocolate Easter Eggs

These chocolate easter eggs are made without a mold. They are basically oval chocolate truffles . I usually coat half in cocoa powder and the other half in coconut flakes. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, but they never last that long in my house!

Ingredients | Easter Egg Hunt Ideas For Community

9 ounces 85% dark chocolate, chopped

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon rum

¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or to taste

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed

¼ cup coconut flakes, or as needed

Directions

Place chocolate, cream, and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in rum, followed by confectioners' sugar. Cool briefly, then cover and cool in the refrigerator until firm, about 5 hours.

Shape chocolate mixture into oval eggs. Place cocoa powder and coconut flakes in separate small bowls. Roll 1/2 of the chocolate eggs in the cocoa powder and the other 1/2 in coconut flakes. Transfer to the refrigerator.
