Ingredients
Mango Purée
- 100 g mango
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 10 g superfine sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 250 g cream cheese
- 100 ml whipping cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 40 g superfine sugar
Assembly
- 12 candy coated Easter eggs
Instructions
- Mango Purée: Peel and slice the mango, then puree it in a food processor. Pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous strands, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Cook Mango Purée: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mango purée, lemon juice, and superfine sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and transfer to a glass jar. Refrigerate to cool and firm up before use.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add cream cheese, superfine sugar, salt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and whipping cream. Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
- Fill Piping Bags: Transfer the chilled mango purée and cheesecake filling separately into piping bags, ready for assembly.
- Prepare Easter Eggs: Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully saw off the tops of the candy-coated Easter eggs to create openings without cracking the shells. Place the eggs upright in an egg carton to hold them steady during filling.
- Assemble: Pipe the cheesecake filling into each chocolate shell, filling them almost to the top. Use the back of a spoon to create a small dip in the center of the filling.
- Fill with Mango Purée: Pipe the chilled mango purée into the dip made in the cheesecake filling, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled Easter eggs until ready to serve. Enjoy this festive, creamy, and fruity treat!
Notes
- Be gentle when cutting the tops off the candy eggs to avoid cracking the shells.
- If unable to find superfine sugar, regular granulated sugar can be substituted by pulsing briefly in a food processor.
- The mango purée can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated to save time.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipping cream with suitable vegan alternatives.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
