Hi Gemma!
The recipe looks great. I have a small question: what size is the egg mould you are using here and how many of those eggs were filled by the cheesecake made using the ingredients in this recipe?
Hi there,
I got these egg molds some time ago on Amazon.com. The mix will make around 10 eggs roughly. The egg molds are for 8 eggs and the dimensions are 2 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches. I hope you enjoy this process,
Gemma 🙂
The moulds I ordered are almost double the size. I adjusted the filling in six eggs. But the Easter eggs have come out really really well! Will upload the picture in a while. Thanks so much for this really simple recipe 🙂
That is great Priyanka, I am delighted to hear this and look forward to seeing the pics,
Gemma 🙂
Sorry Gemma, Forgot to compliment you on this one…. Had prepared for Easter and everybody just loved it…. as ppl are just fed up eating those sugary eggs … tx a million… Six cheers again… cudnt upload the photos for this one as well as the red velvet cake… as im not able to view the icon for upload photos
Thank you so much Laviena, good to have you baking with us,
Gemma 🙂
What is dried Rasberries for? It’s in list of ingredients.
Also in recipe doesn’t say when to add whip cream.
Hi Rosalie,
Thank you for pointing this out, I have changed this in the recipe.
The dried raspberries are really just for decoration, you can pop them into the molds before the chocolate, or add a layer of melted chocolate to the shell, and sprinkle a few on, a really intense flavor!

Hi Gemma!
For the mango jam, can you use pineapple instead?
Hi Caroline,
Pineapple and mango have completely different levels of water, this will change the consistency of the ‘jam’.
I think you can try it, but you may need to stabilize it in some way. Why don’t you run a small trial of this, it will be usable as a fruit sauce if all else fails,
Gemma 🙂
hey Gemma i’m always looking for fun yet delicious Easter recipes and every year and i can never seem to find one so we just end up eating store bought candy and now im going to make these and see how my family likes them!p.s these are perfect since my family has a lot of young kids so this is perfect!:)
These made how many Easter eggs
Hi Laila,
this depends on how many you need to make, and the size of your molds. try this, melt 6 oz/ one cup of chocolate, proceed as per recipe, this will inform you, and you can melt more if you wish,
Gemma 🙂

How much chocolate did you use in the eggshells
Hi Elsie,
This was a little time ago, I think it was about 1 oz of chocolate per egg, it needs to be quite thick in order to be able to de-mold it easily,
Gemma 🙂
I tried them but what should I do when the chocolate fix at the shell and doesn’t come out of it? (after fill the shell with some oil) 🙁
Hi Aline,
don’t worry. Don’t oil them, but put them in the freezer and after a few minutes in there they should pop right out :). Good luck.
love it love it..I am pretty much making almost all your dessert recipes lol.. just one thing are you able to write the link on your website too? coz on the video said you’ll leave the link for the mold below but not here..I have to go to youtube channel to get the link 🙁 have a great day!
Thanks so much for your comment, Fiena. You can find the mold on amazon.com. Hope this helps! 🙂
Hey Gemma,
I absolutely adore your work and have developed a green thumb for baking since my friend recommended me your blog. Thank You for all of the videos you make spending your precious time and energy and end up helping us so much . But there is one obstacle that i find impossible to overcome. I am a vegetarian ,not a vegan, and I also don’t eat eggs. Can you please mention the substitutes for each recipe while doing it. Or if you could make a video only about substitutes for vegetarians and vegans just covering bigger bolder recipes . I am honestly not interested in other recipes.
(P.S -I found wikihow to be helpful but for an amateur , its too high a step.)
Thank you all the same.
Thanks for visiting my website! Check out this website (http://www.egglesscooking.com/egg-substitutes/) for great egg substitute ideas 🙂
