Mix the cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar in a saucepan off the heat. Gradually add the milk, 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, then cover it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then transfer it 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!
