Serves: 4
Ingredients:
125g dark chocolate (70%)
30g peanut butter (smooth)
3 large the happy egg co. eggs, separated
50g golden caster sugar
100g dark chocolate, melted
25g salted peanuts, chopped
Colourful sugar strands or confetti's
Method:
Eric Lanlard's Peanut Butter & Chocolate Egg Cups
- Melt the chocolate gently on a bain marie, then add the peanut butter, the sugar and the three egg yolks. Stir gently until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, using an electric hand whisk beat the egg whites until they form a stiff peak.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and transfer into a clean bowl. Cover with kitchen film and place in the fridge to set for a minimum of three hours, or even overnight.
- When the mousse mixture is firm, transfer into a piping bag and pipe into large egg cup. Pile high and using a small palette knife or knife, shape it in an egg shape (you can use egg shaped moulds, for ease!)
- Place in the fridge to reset again for a couple of hours.
- Melt the remaining chocolate on a bain marie - once melted, leave to cool.
- Once completely cool, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of your mousse egg and sprinkle the sugar strands and chopped peanuts over the top for added crunch and decoration.
- Serve and enjoy!
