Homemade chocolate crème eggs that are creamy, sweet, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 pkgs (16 oz each) milk chocolate, melted and divided
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 drops orange gel food coloring
- 1 drop yellow gel food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare your cups: Start by lining 48 mini muffin cups with parchment paper liners.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 16 ounces of milk chocolate by heating on HIGH power for 30 seconds. Stir and continue melting in 20-second intervals until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag and pipe a thin layer into the bottom of the muffin cups.
- Beat together the softened butter and corn syrup until well combined.
- Add in the milk, vanilla, and salt, then gradually mix in the powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Spoon about two-thirds of the filling into a piping bag. For the remaining one-third, add the orange and yellow gel food coloring.
- Pipe both the plain and colored filling into the chocolate-lined cups, smoothing the tops.
- Melt the remaining chocolate and pipe it over the tops of each cup, sealing them in.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
