Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Eggs (Printable)

Elegant chocolate eggs flavored with strawberry and filled with a crunchy hazelnut and crisped rice filling.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Shell

01 - 10.6 oz high-quality white chocolate
02 - 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder
03 - Red or pink food coloring (optional)

→ Crunch Filling

04 - 2.8 oz milk chocolate
05 - 2.5 oz hazelnut spread
06 - 1.4 oz crisped rice cereal
07 - 1 oz chopped roasted hazelnuts
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Decoration

09 - Edible gold leaf (optional)
10 - Extra melted chocolate for sealing

# How-To Steps:

01 - Melt white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Add strawberry powder and a drop of food coloring if desired. Mix thoroughly for even color distribution.
02 - Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat Easter egg silicone molds with a thick, even layer of strawberry chocolate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, then apply a second coat for a sturdy shell. Chill until completely set, approximately 15 minutes.
03 - Melt milk chocolate and stir in hazelnut spread, vanilla extract, crisped rice cereal, and chopped hazelnuts until well combined. Allow to cool slightly until thickened but still spreadable.
04 - Carefully spoon or pipe crunch filling into each chocolate shell, leaving a small border around the edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the filling.
05 - Gently warm the edge of another chocolate shell half, then press onto the filled half to create a seal. Smooth any seams with additional melted chocolate if necessary.
06 - Brush eggs with edible gold leaf or drizzle with white chocolate for a festive presentation. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
