Ingredients
 

CHOCOLATE NESTS

  • 3 eggs
  • 8 Tbsp (115 g) butter (Melted)
  • 1/4 cup (65 g) heavy cream (Original Recipe calls for Milk)
  • 1 3/4 cup (200 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 2/3 cup (210 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp (6 g) baking powder

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

  • 4 oz (113.4 g) dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) heavy whipping cream

DECORATION

  • candy coated chocolate pieces (Mms | Spring Edition)

Instructions
 

CHOCOLATE NESTS PREPARATION

  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on medium until melted. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the powdered sugar. Add the heavy whipping cream and cooled melted butter. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and the unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
  • Scoop your batter into your Mini Bon Flexipat® Tray.

BAKE!

  • Bake for 22 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 20min). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Once your Easter Chocolate Nests (M&Ms) are out of the oven, let them cool down for a couple of minutes. Then, flip onto your cooling rack and prepare the chocolate ganache.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE PREPARATION

  • Pour the Heavy Whipping Cream into the Mini Round Mold and bring it just to a boil in microwave, about 30 seconds at a time (1 minute total). Add the dark chocolate chips and swirl to coat all chips. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir.
  • Decorate to your liking: I used M&Ms. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
