🛠️ What You Need – Essential Tools & Ingredients
Before we get started, here are the must-have items to make perfect Easter eggs:
🔹 Chocolate Mold: A high-quality 3-part chocolate mold ensures smooth, glossy shells and an even thickness. Try this Plain Easter Egg 3-Part Chocolate Mold (250g).
🔹 Chocolate Coating: The best Easter eggs start with good-quality chocolate. We recommend these Dark Chocolate-Flavored Wafers (800g) for an easy-to-melt, delicious option.
🔹 Egg Support Base: After making your egg halves, you’ll need to keep them upright while they set. These Easter Egg Support Bases are perfect for that.
🔹 Wrapping & Packaging: For a professional and festive look, wrap your eggs with elegant gold wrapping like Matte Gold Wrapping Paper or Golden Yellow Aluminum Wrapping.
📖 Step-by-Step Guide to Making Brazilian Chocolate Easter Eggs
Follow these simple steps to make your Easter eggs like a pro:
1️⃣ Melt the Chocolate
• Chop the dark chocolate wafers into small pieces for even melting.
• Melt the chocolate using a double boiler (banho-maria) or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
• Optional: If you want a professional shine and snap, temper the chocolate by cooling it down to 28-30°C before molding.
2️⃣ Pour Into the Mold
• Pour melted chocolate into your 3-part Easter egg mold, ensuring an even coating.
• Tap the mold gently to remove air bubbles.
• Place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate firms up.
3️⃣ Assemble the Egg
• Once the chocolate is set, gently remove the egg halves from the mold.
• If filling with surprises like brigadeiro, caramel, or nuts, now’s the time!
• Warm the edges slightly and press the two halves together to seal the egg.
4️⃣ Wrap & Decorate
• Place the egg on a support base to prevent damage.
• Wrap with golden foil or matte wrapping paper for a luxurious look.
• Add ribbons, tags, or stickers to personalize.
🎉 Done! Your homemade Easter egg is now ready to enjoy or sell!
