Easter Egg Filled Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is made with just four ingredients, and what stands out is how it feels like having lemonade but in dessert form. It has a sharp lemon flavour which is unexpectedly refreshing, and inside a chocolate Easter egg, it almost feels like a David Fincher film plot twist.

What you'll need:

• Egg yolks: 3
• Castor sugar: 80 gm
• Zest and juice from 2 lemons
• Unsalted butter, cubed: 60 gm

How to make it:

Whisk the yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl until pale. Add lemon juice and zest, then cook over a bain-marie, stirring constantly. Once thickened (coats the back of a spoon), remove from heat. Add the butter cube by cube, while stirring, until fully incorporated. Cool completely, then pipe into shells.

Note: Ensure the lemon curd is fully cool (and a bit thick) before filling the chocolate shells.

Dubai‑style Chocolate Easter Egg Filling

The Dubai chocolate trend needs no introduction, given it’s still dominating social feeds even now. It’s the unusual combination of pistachio-tahini-kataifi, mixed with chocolate, that makes it such a hit. With an Easter egg, the chocolate bar is wrapped for a chocolate egg shell.

What you'll need:

• Kataifi pastry (shredded filo), toasted: 100 gm
• Pistachio cream or paste: 4 tbsp 
• Tahini: 1 tbsp 
• A pinch of sea salt

How to make it:

Toast kataifi in a dry pan with a small knob of butter until deep golden and crunchy. Mix pistachio cream with tahini and salt until combined. Fold in the toasted kataifi. Fill egg shells while the mixture is slightly warm for easier piping. Allow to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Note: This filling works best with milk chocolate shells. The sweetness and creaminess of the milk chocolate are perfect to tone down the strong pistachio flavour.

Easter Egg Filled Goat Cheese and Honey

Stuffed dates have been trending lately, and with them, their fillings too, and goat cheese with hot honey and pistachios is one of the most popular fillings for these dates. So, why not use this option and fill up your chocolate Easter egg, which might just make it a conversation starter, with the unusual flavour combination? 

What you'll need:

• Soft goat cheese: 150 gm
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• Cracked black pepper to taste

How to make it:

Whip goat cheese until smooth and airy. Drizzle in honey and fold carefully – you want ribbons of the money, not a uniform mix. Add thyme and some pepper. Pipe into dark chocolate shells and serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.

Note: Pair with a glass of rosé or a sparkling elderflower drink for the perfect Easter pairing for you and your guests.
