Planning the meal, spending hours making everything, and then spending another few hours just to clean everything up can be extremely stressful. Not to mention, you have to find time somewhere to get dressed. It’s stressful but trust us it doesn’t have to be. Sorrelli is here to help you have the most eggs-travagant Easter ever.

Now the first thing you need to do before heading out to start your Easter breakfast is your hair and makeup. I know what you’re thinking, why would I do that? Well here’s the answer. It’s so much easier to have part of your look complete before starting the meal so you don’t have to worry about rushing it later. So get your hair in that perfect updo you only do for special occasions. Take time to put on the makeup that will complement your new outfit. Take the time, because the next few hours are going to be stressful but you might as well look good doing it.

With your hair and makeup done, it’s officially time to start your meal. Now what would an Easter meal be without eggs? Obviously not Easter. This delicious egg salad spread is the perfect addition to any holiday get-together. A delicious quick treat that will have you constantly digging in.

How delicious does that sound! But don’t start eating just yet. You’re not quite done. Every Easter meal requires a delicious sweet treat for dessert. These cute chocolate eggs are the perfect holiday treat for your guests to enjoy.

Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Easter Egg Cups

Ingredients

• 6-8 hollow chocolate easter egg shells
• 5 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup thickened/heavy whipping cream
• 1 passion fruit, can be substituted with 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed orange juice, mandarin juice, mango nectar, or peach nectar
• 1 tablespoon apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preparation
Using a small serrated knife, carefully remove the tops of the chocolate eggs. Place the eggs in the fridge to keep them chilled while you prepare the cheesecake filling. Place the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat on high until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside and carefully whip the thickened cream in a separate mixing bowl to stiff peaks. Using a whisk, gently combine the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth. Carefully spoon or pipe the mixture into the prepared chocolate shells. Chill eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.

Prepare the passion fruit sauce; strain passion fruit pulp to remove the seeds and place in a small saucepan with the apricot jam and butter. Gently heat on low, whisking until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Place in the fridge and chill until it thickens, slightly. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out a hole in the center of each cheesecake, about 1 cm deep and wide. Fill hole with some of the chilled passion fruit sauce and return the eggs to the fridge to chill again for at least 30 mins. Remove eggs from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving.
