You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs


Hello my dear fellow students!

As you know, Easter and the eating-sessions at home are coming soon and so I was searching for some recipes I can share with you. Unfortunately I didn’t find a recipe but a friend of mine did. She sent it to me and I changed it a bit. So, here you go…

Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs

Ingredients:

You will need 7-8 kinder surprise chocolate eggs (I bought them at my local grocery store)

Cream

150 g         cream cheese, softened
30 g           icing sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp       lemon juice (I put some in, but it doesn’t go with rum)
1/2 tsp       rum
125 ml        thickened/heavy whipping cream

Yolk

2                peach halves
1/2 tbsp     apricot jam
15 g           unsalted butter


Preparation:

Chocolate Eggs and Cream Cheese Filling
 
  1. First you need to cut the top of every chocolate egg off – be careful. 
  2. You can either heat the knife under warm water to cut it off easier or let it be and having jagged edges, it's up to you
  3. Place the eggs in the fridge while you prepare the filling – I used a refrigerator egg tray
  4. Take a big bowl and place the cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice and rum into it
  5. Beat on high until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes
  6. Set the bowl aside
  7. Take another bowl and carefully whip the thickened cream to stiff peaks
  8. Use a whisk to combine the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it’s smooth
  9. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the chocolate eggs – set them aside for at least 30 minutes

Fruit sauce

  1. Mash the peaches
  2. Place the mashed peaches, apricot jam and butter in a small saucepan
  3. Gently heat on low, whisking until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth
  4. Remove from heat and let it cool
  5. Place in the fridge until it thickens slightly
  6. Filling in the sauce
  7. Use a small spoon to scoop out a hole in the centre of each cheesecake –  1 cm deep and wide
  8. Fill the hole with some of the peach sauce and return the eggs to the fridge for about 30 mins
  9. Remove eggs from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving

This is a really light and easy-making dessert you can serve after a big meal. Give it a try and enjoy the pictures below! :)
