Chocolate Easter Egg Tiramisu

·

Did you ever think you'd eat Tiramisu out of a Dinosaur Chocolate Easter Egg? Sweet, creamy, chocolate-y, and with a touch of coffee... it's the dessert you didn't know you needed ;)

The first step (and most important part) is to temper the chocolate for the dinosaur egg molds. I bought these silicone dinosaur egg molds from Amazon (linked here) and they were very easy to use. Highly recommend!

How to temper chocolate?

Tempering chocolate is MUCH EASIER than you'd ever expect. I used to think it was a thing solely for chocolatiers until I decided to wing it LOL

The temperatures for tempering chocolate will also vary depending on dark, milk, or white chocolate. This method can be used for all chocolates, but is primarily for dark chocolate.

  1. Finely chop the chocolate bar. Add 2/3rds of the chopped chocolate to a double boiler or a metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted, ensuring the chocolate temperature doesn’t exceed 120F.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining third of chocolate until melted. Let cool an additional minute. Add back over the simmering water, stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. The chocolate is tempered when you can spread a small spoonful on wax paper and it dries quickly and has a glossy finish with no streaks.

TIPS for making the Tiramisu Easter eggs:

  • The key is to keep your hands and bowls COLD. And I do mean, ICE COLD! You can place the bowls for the eggs in the freezer for 10 minutes, if needed. If you're hands are too warm, they may also melt through the egg. To help, you can run them under cold water!
  • Let the chocolate freeze in the molds until very hardened. If removed too soon, they won't come out solid.
  • I say this lightly, but the most challenging part of this recipe will be getting the two egg halves to stick together to become one egg. I recommend running a flat plate under warm warm, placing the edges of the egg molds on it, and gently moving it to melt the edges to an even flatness. Then stick together.
  • Use a small clean paint brush or your fingers to brush on more melted chocolate to help seal the eggs together. The tiramisu will try to escape the eggs if there's any holes LOL

How to store the Tiramisu Easter eggs:

I recommend keeping them stored in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Ingredients

Servings: 3-4 (2 large Easter eggs)

  • 1 6.35oz Tony Chocolonely Dark Chocolate + more for garnishing
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ cup Mascarpone, room temperature
  • 4 tbsp. Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • (Optional) 1 tbsp. Marsala Wine
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Espresso Coffee, cold
  • 15 Lady Fingers
  • Silicone Dinosaur Egg Molds, or smaller egg chocolate molds

Instructions

  1. To Temper the Chocolate: Finely chop the chocolate bar. Add 2/3rds of the chopped chocolate to a double boiler or a metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted, ensuring the chocolate temperature doesn’t exceed 120F.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining third of chocolate until melted. Let cool an additional minute. Add back over the simmering water, stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. The chocolate is tempered when you can spread a small spoonful on wax paper and it dries quickly and has a glossy finish with no streaks.
  1. To Make the Dinosaur Eggs: Use around 1/4th of the chocolate per giant dinosaur egg mold (so each mold is half of an egg). Move the mold around so the melted chocolate spread evenly.
  2. Place the chocolate filled molds face-down on a plate lined with parchment paper.
  3. Freeze for 10 minutes or until chocolate is fully hardened. Gently remove from the molds.
  4. To seal the egg halves together, use a little melted chocolate or gently place the edges on a warm plate to softly melt. Gently press the two halves together. See video for a visual guide.
  5. Place the sealed egg in a small cup to freeze another 5 minutes.
  6. To remove the tops of the eggs, use a knife run through hot water to carefully slice it off.  
  1. To Make the Tiramisu: Break the lady fingers in half. Dip each lady finger in the espresso coffee and place on a plate. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, mascarpone, vanilla, and (optional) marsala wine until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream with a spatula until no streaks.
  3. Alternate between layers of the espresso-dipped lady fingers and the mascarpone mixture in each chocolate dinosaur egg.
  4. Garnish with shaved chocolate and coffee beans to enjoy!
