💡 Pro Tips

  • Temper your chocolate at 88-90°F for dark chocolate or 84-86°F for milk chocolate to achieve proper crystal formation and prevent white bloom on your finished eggs.technique88-90°F dark, 84-86°F milk
  • Chill your egg molds to 65-68°F before pouring tempered chocolate to ensure clean release and sharp detail definition in the final shape.equipment65-68°F
  • When shaping by hand, work with portions no larger than 1 tablespoon (15g) at a time to maintain consistent egg proportions and prevent mixture from warming above 75°F.technique15g portions, below 75°F
  • Refrigerate shaped eggs for exactly 15-20 minutes before wrapping to firm the exterior without creating condensation that would prevent foil adhesion.timing15-20 minutes
  • Process your mixture in 10-second pulses with 5-second rests to prevent friction heat from exceeding 80°F, which would melt fats and create an oily texture.equipment10-second pulses, below 80°F
