Ingredients
Chocolate custard:
Materials
- pan, bowl, piping bag, plastic wrap
Preparation
Mix corn starch, cocoa powder, and sugar in a pan off the heat. Gradually add milk while mixing well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. When the custard starts to boil (it should be slightly thicker), remove the pan from the heat.
Strain the custard into a bowl, placing plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Then, transfer to a piping bag.
Separate the chocolate eggs in half and fill the shells with the chocolate custard.
Decorate the filled eggs by adding colorful chocolate candies on top. It's ready!

Using a piping bag to fill the chocolate eggs allows for precision and minimizes mess. Just ensure the custard is chilled and thick enough to hold its shape.

How long can I store the filled chocolate eggs?
The filled chocolate eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure they are covered to prevent them from drying out.

You can get creative with toppings! Consider using crushed nuts, sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or even edible glitter for a festive touch.
