Chilli Choccy Eggs
"I got the idea to add the chilli to the eggs from the Lindt chocolate block. Chocolate eggs filled with a creamy chocolate centre with a hint of chilli. This is a great flavour combination, the chilli is subtle but something quite different. I have also added Amarula Cream, Bailey's and Frangelico on other occasions, the possibilities are endless.
This can make as many eggs as you choose, it depends on the size of the moulds."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Uni student; I like to cook in my spare time, I am always on the net and reading books looking for new recipes and thinking of ways to make them my own. I plan to make my own cookbook once I have enough recipes under my belt; im getting there. I will be dedicating it to my Nanna, she has been my number one inspiration for cooking and she has been a great teacher. My favorite things to make are deserts and Chicken dishes. I love experimenting with Pizza's. I had a scare recently, that I may have Coeliac's, luckily I found out this was not the case, but i did happen to learn alot about it in the time that I was waiting for testing, I have come to appreciate gluten and even the lack of it. I came accross some great recipes, and they were quite tasty, I cannot believe how common gluten intolerance is, I had not heard of it until the doctors told me I may have it. I have 3 beautiful babies :P Bella and Basil (my 2 chihuahua's) and Cat (my ginger kitty). My favorite cookbook is Stefanie Alexander's Garden Kitchen Companion. When I am not at Uni or in the Kitchen I like to go shopping, down the beach, camping, fishing, and gardening. I love fashion and I would like to buy a sewing machine and start making my own designs. I also enjoy making jewelery from polymer clay, very fun hobby.
