additional chocolate to help

room temperature, spread
a bit on a cool surface.

dry, clean Copper Eggs.
Pour out the chocolate, leaving
a coating inside the Copper

to even out the surface
of the chocolate left in the
Copper Eggs.
11. Pipe the white lling one-third
of the way up each Copper Egg.
12. Roll the yellow lling into yolk-
sized balls and place on top
of the white lling.
13. Pipe more white crème over
the yolk to cover, leaving ¼ in.
from the rim of each Copper Egg.
14. Pour enough of the remaining
chocolate over the lling
to seal each egg. Use an offset
or bench scraper to smooth out
the top.
15. Allow the eggs to set for at least
6 hrs. and then place them
in a freezer for at least 2 hrs.
