Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Eggs

Servings: 4 Eggs

Ingredients

For chocolate shells:

  • 1 cup high quality dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp unrefined coconut oil

For the filling:

  • 5.5 oz organic cream cheese room temperature
  • 5 oz plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsps raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
  • all natural apricot mango or pear jam, as needed (I used no sugar added jam)

Instructions

  • Melt your chocolate with the coconut oil in a double broiler on the stove top, or microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and add 15 second intervals if needed.
  • Once your chocolate is melted remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes or just until slightly thickened.
  • Next, evenly brush your egg molds with melted chocolate.
  • Refrigerate for 15 minutes, to set, then repeat with a second coating of melted chocolate.
  • Refrigerate molds again while preparing your filling. If the chocolate shell still seems thin, then repeat this process a third time.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add cream cheese, yogurt, honey and vanilla.
  • Using a hand held mixer, mix until smooth and combined well.
  • Once your chocolate shells are fully set, carefully and gently remove them from the mold.
  • Add about a tablespoon of your cheesecake mixture to each egg half, then top with 1 teaspoon of jam as shown.
  • (If your egg halves are smaller in size than the ones I use, then you might need to adapt the quantity of your fillings).
  • Chill eggs for at least 30 minutes, allowing to fully set.
  • Next, sandwich the egg halves together as shown and smear with a bit of melted chocolate to "glue" them together. Make sure to seal the edges tightly.
  • Place your finished chocolate eggs into the fridge and chill again for at least another 30 minutes.
  • Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.
  • Enjoy!
