Easter egg truffles – white chocolate with a peanut butter ‘yolk’

I’m about to say something very controversial – I hate easter egg chocolate.

It doesn’t taste the same as real chocolate, for me, there is something plastic tasting about it. Hollow eggs are a waste of time and I find easter chocolates overpriced.

So I needed to take matters into my own hands.

This is a tribute to the Heston Blumenthal with his visually pleasing and mind-boggling desserts. This is a white chocolate truffle with a peanut butter truffle ‘yolk’ filling. I rolled the egg shaped truffles in shredded coconut to finish.

As you can see by the pictures – they look very egg like. Taste wise, white chocolate and peanut butter always go well together, with the coconut finish makes these truffles rich yet refreshing.
