It’s the ‘No Bake Easter Dessert’ that has become quite the trend in recent years and you can make it as simple or as complicated as you like. Known as a ‘loaded’ or filled Easter Egg, it’s full of calories, but a well-deserved treat at the end of a particularly tough Lenten period.
Ingredients:
The basic ingredient needed for this dessert is half a chocolate Easter egg. After that, select additional ingredients from the suggested fillings listed below.
Method:
To start, you could fix your half Easter egg so that it doesn’t wobble. To do this, simply heat the base of your chocolate egg half, using a bowl over a saucepan of hot water, checking continuously until the chocolate starts to soften. Then, transfer the egg half to a dessert plate and fix it in place until the chocolate hardens again. However, if you don’t mind a wobbly half Easter egg , you can skip this step altogether.
Next, load the half Easter egg with your favourite sweet and dessert fillings. Here are some suggestions we found online, as well as some of our own suggestions. No matter what filling you choose, your Easter egg is sure to taste delicious.
