Description

This delightful treat features soft, pillowy marshmallow centers encased in a smooth, rich milk chocolate shell. Perfect for Easter baskets or as a nostalgic dessert, these eggs offer a perfect balance of sweet and creamy flavors. The marshmallow filling is light and airy, while the chocolate coating provides a satisfying snap and deep cocoa richness. They are easy to make with simple ingredients and freeze well, making them a great make-ahead option for parties or holidays. Enjoy these homemade confections as a special gift or a luxurious indulgence for yourself.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt milk chocolate until smooth and glossy, stirring occasionally.
  2. Prepare marshmallow filling by heating sugar, corn syrup, and water to a soft-ball stage, then folding into whipped egg whites and cream of tartar mixture.
  3. Dust your hands generously with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
  4. Spoon small portions of the marshmallow mixture and shape them into oval egg forms using your dusted hands.
  5. Place the formed marshmallow eggs on a sheet of waxed paper and let them dry for 30 minutes to form a slight crust.
  6. Gently brush off any excess cornstarch from the marshmallow eggs with a dry pastry brush.
  7. Dip each egg into the melted milk chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and let excess drip off.
  8. Place the chocolate-covered eggs back on the waxed paper to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  9. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for easier handling and longer shelf life.
