Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Eggs (Printable)

Strawberry-flavored chocolate eggs filled with a crunchy nut and crisped rice center.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Shell

01 - 10.6 oz high-quality white chocolate
02 - 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder
03 - Red or pink food coloring, optional

→ Crunch Filling

04 - 2.8 oz milk chocolate
05 - 2.5 oz hazelnut spread
06 - 1.4 oz crisped rice cereal
07 - 1 oz chopped roasted hazelnuts
08 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Decoration

09 - Edible gold leaf, optional
10 - Melted chocolate for sealing

# Directions:

01 - Melt white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Add strawberry powder and food coloring if desired. Mix thoroughly for even color distribution.
02 - Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat Easter egg silicone molds with a thick, even layer of strawberry chocolate. Chill for 10 minutes, then apply a second layer for structural integrity. Refrigerate until completely set, approximately 15 minutes.
03 - Melt milk chocolate and incorporate hazelnut spread, vanilla extract, crisped rice cereal, and chopped hazelnuts until well combined. Cool slightly until the mixture thickens while remaining spreadable.
04 - Carefully spoon or pipe crunch filling into each chocolate shell, maintaining a small border around edges. Chill for 10 minutes to set firmly.
05 - Gently warm the edge of a second chocolate shell half, then press firmly onto the filled half to create a seal. Smooth any visible seams using additional melted chocolate as needed.
06 - Brush with edible gold leaf or drizzle with additional white chocolate for festive presentation. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
