These easter eggs are sooooo delicious – you should definitely try them 😀

When we refer to almond nougat below, we don’t mean the soft nougat with nuts, but the kind made from almonds, cane sugar and cocoa butter (the picture below).

Ingredients (20 eggs)

4/5 cup almond nougat

30 almonds

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 orange, zest

3/4 cup dark quality chocolate

 

 

Place the almonds and sugar in a frying pan and heat until sugar is melted. Stir to combined the almonds with the melted sugar. Transfer the brittle to a sheet of baking paper and let cool completely. Chop the brittle when cooled.

Knead the 2/3 of the brittle and the zest from 1 orange into the almond nougat. Form to a ball and fridge for 10-15 minutes. Divide the nougat ball into 20 equally sized pieces and form to eggs. Fridge again for 10-15 minutes, while tempering the chocolate.

Cover the eggs with tempered chocolate and decorate with the remaining brittle 🙂

Bon Appétit!
