Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place 3/4 of the milk chocolate in the 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 and reaches a temperature of 113 degrees F (46 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 2
Add remaining milk chocolate and stir until smooth and the temperature cools to 86 degrees F (30 degrees C).
Step 3
Spread one layer of chocolate evenly inside the mold halves using a pastry brush; refrigerate for 10 minutes. Brush on another layer of chocolate and chill for 10 minutes. Brush a third time and chill for a final 10 minutes.
Step 4
Unmold the egg halves carefully and trim the edges with a sharp knife. Brush the edges with a little melted chocolate, then carefully bring two halves together to form a single egg. Set back in the mold carefully and chill until set, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 18 ounces good-quality milk chocolate, chopped
  • egg-shaped plastic mold(s)
