Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Beat them together until fully combined.
Next, gradually incorporate 60 grams of sugar, continuing to whisk until the mixture is light and airy. Then, sift in 60 grams of flour and gently fold it in using a spatula to maintain the airiness.
Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper and smooth the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool.
Step 2
Once the biscuit base has completely cooled, crumble it into fine pieces in a bowl. Gradually add cream cheese, mixing until you reach a modeling consistency. This will allow you to form shapes resembling eggs.
Shape the mixture into egg-like formations with your hands, ensuring they're uniform for decoration. Place them on a tray and set them aside.
Step 3
For the glaze, melt 200 grams of white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. If you prefer to use a microwave, heat it in short bursts, stirring in between.
Once melted, add 20-30 grams of cocoa butter to achieve a thinner consistency suitable for dipping. Mix well. If desired, integrate fat-soluble food colorings to enhance the visual appeal.
Step 4
Once the glaze is ready, take each shaped egg and dip it into the glaze, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess to drip off before placing it back on the tray.
Let the decorated eggs set at room temperature or refrigerate them until they firm up. Make sure to store any leftover eggs securely in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours until you are ready to use them.
Servings
Once your edible chocolate eggs are ready, the fun really begins! 🌟 These little gems are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or just a cozy family dessert night. You can pair them with fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries for a delightful contrast and a splash of color. Imagine your guests’ faces lighting up when they see a beautiful platter of eggs, surrounded by vibrant berries! 🍓
For an even more festive touch, serve these eggs alongside cups of sweetened coffee or hot chocolate, making for a perfectly cozy treat. ☕ Or, take your dessert to the next level by drizzling them with colorful edible glitter or sprinkles for that extra pop! Your Easter brunch or spring picnic will never be the same again. 🌼

If you have a chocolate melter or a double boiler, use it for melting the white chocolate. It’s a gentle way to ensure your chocolate doesn't burn.
Use these for decorating your edible eggs. They allow you to create beautiful designs easily.
Variations
Looking to mix things up? You can easily make these chocolate eggs gluten-free by substituting regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Just ensure that your additional ingredients, like the cream cheese, are also certified gluten-free. 🥜
For those on a vegan diet, you can replace the eggs in the sponge cake with flaxseed meal mixed with water or use a vegan egg substitute. Opt for dairy-free white chocolate to keep it entirely plant-based. Your guests won’t even know the difference! 🥑
Faq
- I’m new to baking! How do I know when my sponge cake is done?
The best way to check is by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s ready!
- Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Absolutely! However, remember that dark chocolate has a different flavor profile, bringing a richer taste to your edible eggs.
- What if my sponge cake is dense? Did I overmix?
Yes, overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined for a light, airy texture.
- Can I prepare the chocolate eggs a day in advance?
Yes! These eggs can be made a day ahead. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- I'm experienced! How can I add more flavor to the sponge cake?
Consider adding extracts, like vanilla or almond, or incorporating citrus zest for a fresh twist!
- How do I get my colors bright when working with fat-soluble dyes?
Make sure to use high-quality gel food coloring designed for chocolate. It will give you vibrant colors without compromising the mixture!
