Prep: 43 min | Cook: 6 min | Total: 1 hr 4 min

Cost: $10.00 total, $1.25 per serving

Ingredients

  • 200 g Plain Sponge Cake (store‑bought or homemade, crumbled)
  • 200 ml Heavy Whipping Cream (chilled)
  • 100 g Dark Chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
  • 100 g White Chocolate (chopped; will be melted for drizzle)
  • 5 ml Food Coloring (red, green and blue (or colors of your choice))

Instructions

  1. Crumble the Cake

    Break the sponge cake into small pieces and crush it with your hands or a food processor until you have fine crumbs.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Melt Dark Chocolate

    Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave‑safe bowl. Heat in 30‑second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

    Time: PT3M

  3. Melt White Chocolate

    Repeat the melting process with the white chocolate in a separate bowl.

    Time: PT3M

  4. Whip the Cream

    Pour the chilled heavy cream into a mixing bowl and whip with a spatula or hand mixer until soft peaks form.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Combine Dark Chocolate with Cream

    Add one tablespoon of the melted dark chocolate to the whipped cream and fold gently until evenly incorporated.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Create the Chocolate‑Cream Cake Mixture

    Add the chocolate‑infused whipped cream to the cake crumbs. Stir until the mixture holds together like a soft dough (the “masita”).

    Time: PT5M

  7. Color the Mixture

    Divide the masita into three equal portions. Add a few drops of red, green, and blue food coloring to each portion and mix until the color is uniform.

    Time: PT5M

  8. Shape Egg‑Size Candies

    Take small handfuls of each colored mixture and roll them between your palms into egg‑shaped ovals about 2‑3 cm long. Place each egg on parchment‑lined tray.

    Time: PT10M

  9. Freeze the Eggs

    Transfer the tray to the freezer and let the shaped eggs set for at least 2 hours.

    Time: PT0M

  10. Finish with White‑Chocolate Drizzle

    Remove the frozen eggs from the freezer. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate over each egg. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set the glaze.

    Time: PT5M
