well 2 years after coping this recipe down i have finally gotten around to making it...was really easy...just got to chocolate them tomorrow.

next batch i will colour green, take out the lemon juice and add peppermint essence instead, and use dark chocolate.

what i have tasted so far, tastes yummy]]> Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:04:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=1311557&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#1311557 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=652647&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#652647 Author: mum2paris

depends - if you let the choclate cool a little once you melt it, so that it goes kinda thick then it doesn't tend to run too much, but yes you do end up with a little puddle of choc attached, which you can just break off once set.]]> Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:45:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=652647&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#652647 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=652468&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#652468 Author: kriss

Wow so you would need to make at least 40 half-egg moulds.. Not sure if I have enough baking dishes lol.

When you pop the choc covered eggs onto paper to set, do the flatten slightly on one side? Or do they set perfectly rounded and egg-like IYKWIM?]]> Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:12:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=652468&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#652468 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=649944&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#649944 Author: mum2paris

Um am not sure, you could try but i would say you'd have to flour the moulds and chances are that while trying to prise them out of the moulds you would likely stick your fingers through them.   Seriously the flour moulds are so so easy, and when you remove them you can just slip a desert spoon underneath to scoop them out, stick with another one then dust off the excess flour.]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:33:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=319609&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#319609 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=319578&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#319578 Author: JadeC

hi busymum
"made my own" was probably exaggerating! You can get moulds from spotlight. we melted chocolate in one, would freeze it for about 20 min to set it and then add caramel which you could buy at the chocolate shop that was in sydenham mall in chch 20 years ago! you can probably get the caramel at spotlight. then fill the top mould with chocolate, put together (and hold it with bulldog clips) put in the freezer for another 20 minutes, then YUM YUM YUM!]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:56:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=318848&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#318848 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=316029&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#316029 Author: mum2paris

Here we go, a tradition in our house since i was little to make our own easter eggs.

Here's the recipe:

To make the marshmellow:
1 tablespoon gelatine
1 tespoon lemon juice or essence
1 cup sugar
1/2 of a cup hot water
1/4 of a cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla essense
food colouring if wanted

Put cold water in a bowl, gradually add gelatine. Stand for 5 mins. Mix hot water and sugar in saucepan, stir over a low heat until disolved. Add gelatine mixture and let boil for 5 minutes. Cool till lukewarm. Pour into a bowl, add lemon juice, vanilla essence and colouring(if desired). Beat with electric egg beater until thick and creamy.    

This stuff sets in about 15 minsutes if beaten to right conisistency so best to work quickly, have moulds prepared earlier!

Get baking dishes, fill with plain flour, up to about 2 inches thick, use an egg (sideways to get the oval shape), or the back of a desert spoon to push indents into the flour, these should be the depth of about half way up the egg.

Pour masrhmellow mixute into the moulds and allow to set.

Once set, lift out carefully, join 2 halves together (with the sticky side that hasn't been in the flour mould) give a few pats to get rid of the excess flour.
put in container and refridgerate overnight.

to make choc mixture:
melt 100gm of cooking chocolate with 2 tablespoons of kremelta over a low heat until combined.
Again this stuff sets fairly quickly, so have everything prepared. Best to use a really good skewer, or a 2 prong cocktail fork (little tiny plastic ones), dip the masrhmellow eggs into the chocolate, let excess drip off then place on a tray with greasproof paper to let set.

Mmmmmm, yummy eggies.

More recipes to come tomorrow.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 22:51:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14475&PID=301880&title=mmmmm-homemade-easter-eggs#301880
