Ingredients
For the Cherry Filling:
1 cup pitted cherries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Chocolate Coating:
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup sprinkles or other decorations
Instructions
Making the Cherry Filling:
In a saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are soft and the mixture is thick and syrupy.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to make a slurry.
Add the slurry to the cherry mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the filling thickens even more.
Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Assembling the Cherry Easter Eggs:
Using your hands, shape the cooled cherry filling into small egg-shaped balls.
Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 20-30 minutes, until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip each frozen cherry ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat it evenly.
Place the coated cherry eggs back on the parchment paper and decorate with sprinkles or other toppings of your choice.
Refrigerate for at least an hour, or until the chocolate coating has hardened.
And that's it! Your homemade cherry Easter eggs are ready to be enjoyed. These make great gifts for friends and family, or a delicious addition to any Easter dessert spread. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate and decorations to create your own unique versions. Happy Easter!
