Ingredients:

• 12 hollow chocolate easter eggs

Cream Filling

• 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract

Yolk Filling

• 2 tbsp of butter, melted
• 2 tbsp of apricot jam or lemon curd
• 1 tbsp of lemon or orange juice

Directions:

Step 1

Using a sharp knife, gently cut off the top of the chocolate eggs, it’s okay if the edges are a little jagged, then set them aside, and prepare the cream filling. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, then beat it with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, and continue to beat them together until smooth. Transfer the cream filling into a piping bag with no tip, then pipe the filling into each chocolate egg, and place them in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for about 30 to 60 minutes until set, then while waiting, prepare the yolk filling.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe mixing bowl, add the melted butter, jam, and juice, then whisk them together until well combined and uniform, and microwave it for about 15 to 20 seconds to thin it out if needed. Once the yolk filling is ready, strain it well to remove any chunks, then place the strained liquid in a small bowl, and place it in the refrigerator to allow it to thicken for about 30 to 60 minutes. When the fillings are ready, use a small spoon to make a small indentation in the cheesecake filling on the egg as shown in the video, then scoop some of the yolk fillings, and place it in the indented cheesecake. Once done, place them back into the refrigerator, then let them chill until ready to serve, and enjoy!
