Making the Mint Filling
Gather Your Ingredients
To make the mint filling for your Easter eggs, you will need 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Make sure your butter is at room temperature so it's easier to mix with the other ingredients.
Mix and Chill
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until it's light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and peppermint extract, mixing until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more heavy cream. Once the mixture is smooth, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until you get your desired shade of mint green. Chill the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Assembling the Easter Eggs
Prepare the Mold
While the mint filling is chilling, prepare your easter egg mold by lightly greasing it with some oil or cooking spray. This will prevent the filling from sticking to the mold.
Form Your Eggs
Once the filling is chilled, take it out of the fridge and use your hands to form small egg-shaped balls. Place each ball into the mold, pressing down gently to fill the entire mold. Use a knife to trim off any excess filling and make sure the edges are smooth.
Chill and Unmold
Place the filled mold in the fridge for at least an hour to set. Once set, carefully unmold the eggs by gently pressing on the back of the mold. If the eggs are not coming out easily, try placing the mold in the freezer for a few minutes before unmolding.
Dipping and Decorating the Eggs
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of milk chocolate chips or your preferred chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted. You can also melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
Dip and Decorate
Take each egg and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated. Place the dipped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and add any desired decorations such as sprinkles or mini chocolate chips. Place the eggs back in the fridge for the chocolate to set.
Serve and Enjoy!
Once the chocolate has set, your mint easter eggs are ready to be served and enjoyed! These homemade treats are perfect for Easter egg hunts or as a sweet treat to share with loved ones. You can also wrap them in colorful cellophane and add them to Easter baskets for a fun and festive touch. Happy Easter!
