Servings 5 creme eggs

Ingredients

  • 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, 70%
  • 50 ml (1.7 fl.oz) water
  • 50 g (1.8 oz) sugar
  • 250 g (8.8 oz) regal icing, suitable for vegans
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric

Method

  • Break chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl above a pan with simmering water and melt the chocolate completely.
  • Transfer chocolate to a measuring jug and slowly pour into the mould so each compartment is full. Gently shake the mould to remove any air bubbles, then freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grate the regal icing and put 100g (3.5oz) in a bowl. Set aside the remaining 150g (5.3oz) in a separate bowl.
  • Add the sugar and water to a pan over a low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Add the turmeric and vanilla extract to the 100g (3.5oz) of regal icing, along with a few spoons of the sugary water. Mix until smooth. Add more of the liquid if required.
  • Add the remaining sugary water to the 150g (5.3oz) of regal icing and mix until smooth.
  • Remove the mould from the freezer and spoon out the middle of each half using a teaspoon. Pipe the plain icing mix into two thirds of each egg half and pipe the turmeric icing mix into the remaining third.
  • Freeze for at least a further 20 minutes (or longer depending on how soon you want to eat the eggs).
  • Remove the mould from the freezer and push out egg halves.
  • Dip the end of a chopstick in the remainder of the melted chocolate and brush the stick over the edges of each egg half. Stick two halves together to form an egg.
  • Leave to soften until ready for eating!
