Chocolate Easter Egg Nests
These sweet little chocolate Easter egg nests are perfect for Easter and come together in no time. And don’t they look absolutely adorable?
Servings: 24 pieces
Ingredients
- 200 grams milk chocolate
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- Small dragée eggs or any Easter eggs you like
Equipment
- Piping tip wilton #233 optional
Instructions
- Melt the milk chocolate and let it cool slightly.
- Beat the butter until light and creamy, then add the melted chocolate.
- Beat until smooth and transfer the chocolate mixture to a piping bag. I used Wilton piping tip #233 to create the nests.
- Pipe nests about 1½-2 inches (4-5 cm) in diameter and fill them with a few small dragée eggs or one larger egg.
Tips
Don’t have a piping tip with multiple holes? No problem. You can simply snip a small tip off your piping bag. It will just take a little longer to pipe each nest.
How to store
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place (not in the refrigerator), they can be kept for at least 4 weeks. I don’t recommend freezing them, as moisture and condensation can affect the chocolate.
