Surprise-Filled Triple Chocolate Easter Log
A delightful Easter dessert featuring a white chocolate mousse log filled with hidden Easter treats, coated in milk chocolate ganache, and topped with bunny ears.
Equipment
- Double boiler
- Plastic Bottle
- Utility knife
Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups heavy cream for white chocolate mousse
- 1 vanilla bean pod
- 14 oz white chocolate chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream for milk chocolate ganache
- 1 ½ lbs milk chocolate chopped
- melted white chocolate for topping
- 10 ladyfingers crushed
- 7 small caramel Easter eggs
- 2 chocolate Easter bunnies
Instructions
- Thoroughly clean an empty 1 liter plastic bottle, then cut off the neck.
- Melt the chopped white chocolate over a double boiler. Warm up the milk and gradually stir it into the melted white chocolate until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, making a white chocolate ganache. Scrape the caviar out of the vanilla bean pod and beat it together with the heavy cream until a light, fluffy whipped cream forms. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate ganache.
- Fill the plastic bottle with the white chocolate mousse, crushed ladyfingers, and caramel Easter eggs, alternating between the 3 fillings. Make sure to place the caramel Easter eggs near the center of the log so that they're surrounded by the white chocolate mousse. Transfer the plastic bottle to the freezer and freeze the white chocolate mousse log for at least 8 hours.
- Once the white chocolate mousse has frozen, use a utility knife to cut off the plastic bottle. Cut the ears off of 2 chocolate Easter bunnies and press them into the ends of the log, securing them in place with melted chocolate if necessary.
- For the milk chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream and stir it together with the chopped milk chocolate until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Pour the milk chocolate ganache onto a large, flat plate and roll the white chocolate mousse log through it, coating the log completely.
- Once the milk chocolate ganache has set, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it on top.
