Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in confectioners' sugar to make a workable dough. For best results, use your hands for mixing.
- Divide the dough into four parts. Leave one of the parts plain. To the second part, mix in peanut butter. Mix coconut into the third part, and cocoa powder into the last part. Roll each type of dough into egg shapes, and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until hard, at least an hour.
- Melt chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in a teaspoon of the shortening or oil until it thins to your desired consistency. Dip the chilled candy eggs in chocolate, and return to the waxed paper lined sheet to set. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to harden.

- Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
- Melt chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth and candy thermometer registers 115 degrees F for bittersweet and 105 degrees F for white chocolate. Remove chocolate from over water.
- Spoon chocolate into 1 set of large egg molds, filling molds completely (do not fill the decorative base section of mold).
- Turn mold over the above-prepared cookie sheet, allowing excess chocolate to spill out. Shake mold to produce a uniformly thick shell. Turn mold right side up.
- Run fingertip gently around the edge of eggs to remove excess chocolate. Refrigerate.
- Tilt foil-lined sheet with melted chocolate over the top of a double boiler, scraping chocolate into the double boiler.
- Reheat to 115 degrees F for bittersweet and 105 degrees F for white chocolate, stirring frequently.
- Repeat coating process with remaining 2 large egg mold sets and 2 small egg mold sets, removing chocolate from over water while working and reheating chocolate after each set of egg molds is coated.
- Refrigerate molds.
- Return remaining chocolate on foil to top of the double boiler and set aside.
- Stir sugar and water in a heavy large saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, washing downsides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped into water and swirling pan occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Add whipping cream and butter (mixture will bubble vigorously) and whisk until smooth. Whisk in sour cream.
- Let caramel filling stand just until barely cool, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes.

- Chill until set, about 40 minutes.
- Re-warm reserved melted chocolate in top of a double boiler to 115 degrees F for bittersweet and 105 degrees F for white chocolate. Remove chocolate from over water.
- Working quickly, spread enough melted chocolate atop 1 set of filled eggs just to cover. Use an icing spatula to scrape excess chocolate from eggs and clean sides.
- Chill mold in fridge. Repeat with remaining egg molds. Refrigerate all molds until chocolate is firm, about 1 hour.
- Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil. Remove 1 egg mold from the refrigerator. Then turn the mold over onto foil. Gently bend and twist the mold several times to release halves of eggs. Repeat process for all the eggs.
- Rewarm remaining melted chocolate in top of double boiler until warm to touch.
- Turn the bottom half of 1 egg over so the flat sides face up. Spread a small amount of melted chocolate over the flat side of the egg, leaving a ¼-inch border.
- Working quickly, cover the bottom half of the egg with the corresponding top half of the egg and press together gently.
- Refrigerate the whole egg and repeat with remaining egg halves and melted chocolate.

Steps:
- Carefully separate the Easter egg in half along the seam. (Use a knife dipped into a bowl of hot water to cut through the seam rather than slicing, as it may break the chocolate.)
- Tip the digestive biscuits into a bowl or food bag and bash to crumbs with the end of a rolling pin. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Spoon this into the Easter egg halves and pack down gently using the back of the spoon. Chill until needed.
- Mix the mascarpone, soft cheese, icing sugar and cocoa together in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the double cream to soft peaks using an electric whisk. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit bases in the Easter eggs. Gently level the surfaces with a palette knife or spatula, then chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight until firm and set. You may be left with extra cheesecake filling, depending on the size of your Easter eggs - this can be spooned into glasses over extra digestive crumbs for another treat.
- Scatter the set cheesecake-filled eggs with mini chocolate eggs or other Easter treats, then drizzle with caramel or melted chocolate to serve.

Steps:
- Wash each half of your Easter egg mould with hot soapy water and a soft sponge, then dry carefully. Using a ball of cotton wool, buff the inside of the mould. The better the shine on the mould, the better the finish on the chocolate.
- Melt then temper the white chocolate for the brush strokes (see tip).
- Colour half the melted white chocolate with a little of the gel if you want, then brush graphic stripes of chocolate onto the moulds. Let each colour set before you add the next (setting is really speedy if you've achieved good temper). Go over some stripes twice, to make the colours pop out. Repeat the melting and tempering process with the dark chocolate, if you like.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Melt and temper the milk chocolate. Half-fill one mould with the chocolate, then tip it this way and that to completely cover the mould.
- Pour the excess back into the chocolate bowl, and scrape a palette knife across the mould to clean it up. Repeat with the other half of the egg. Set the moulds, flat-side down, on the lined sheet. Transfer to the fridge and leave to set for about 10 mins.
- When the chocolate is solid, flex the moulds to gently release. Take your time - you will see the air slowly creepy its way between the plastic and the shiny, hard chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Heat a baking sheet in the oven until warm. Put the gloves on (prevents fingerprints) and pick up one side of the egg. Any messy edges can be melted flat by holding them against the tray. Next, carefully rub the flat edge of the egg on the tray to melt it a little.
- Repeat with the second side. If you're struggling to pick up the egg from the tray, use your palette knife to help.
- Hold the melted edges of the egg together for a few moments until they stick. Wipe away any excess, then leave the egg to set in the fridge for a few mins. The egg is now ready to give or wrap up for Easter. Store in a cool place away from fluctuating temperatures.

- Melt the chocolate to package instruction and smooth a medium thick coat into each of the eggs.
- While the chocolate is still melted-but not really hot-spoon in about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of caramel. The exact amount needed will depend on how much chocolate is already in the egg. You want to make sure that you leave enough room for a thin chocolate layer over the caramel so try not to overfill.
- Use a small spoon to gently even out the caramel filling in the eggs and then cap the eggs with an even layer of chocolate.
