- Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar, a little bit at at time and mix by hand after each addition. Mix until creamy.Remove about 1/3 of the sugar mixture and place in a small bowl. Add the food coloring and mix well. Cover both mixtures and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm and workable.Combine the chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or ceramic bowl. Slowly melt, stirring gently, until mixture is smooth.Prepare an egg candy mold (or you can also used a deviled egg plate lightly greased with shortening). Thinly coat the inside of the mold with chocolate coating. Refrigerate or freeze until set.Carefully press a layer of white filling into the mold (you may need to grease your hands - this stuff is sticky!) followed by a small oval of orange, and another layer of white. Spread inside mold. Top with more chocolate filling and refrigerate or freeze until completely set before removing from molds. Repeat with remaining chocolate and filling.Alternatively, you can also roll a small, marble size from the orange filling. Wrap a small amount of the white filling around the orange. Form into the shape of eggs and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until set, and then coat each cream center with chocolate.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves, then cover the pan and allow the sugar syrup to boil for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the lid, insert a candy thermometer , and continue to cook the syrup, without stirring, until it reaches 240 F (115 C).
- Pour the fondant into a 9 x 13-inch pan, insert the candy thermometer, and let it cool, undisturbed, until it reaches 120 F (49 C).
- Using a dampened plastic spatula or wooden spoon, begin to "cream," or work, the fondant in a figure-8 pattern. Continually scrape the fondant into the center, draw a figure-8, then scrape it together again. At first, the fondant will be very clear and fluid, but it will gradually become more opaque and creamy.
- After 5 to 10 minutes, the fondant will become very stiff, crumbly, and hard to manipulate. If you would like to see a photo tutorial of this fondant-making process, check out the step-by-step guide to make fondant here .
- Once the fondant reaches this state, moisten your hands and begin kneading it into a ball like bread dough. As you knead, the fondant will begin to come together and will get softer and smoother.
- Stop kneading once your fondant is a smooth ball without lumps. At this point, you can pause and wrap the fondant in plastic wrap for several days before continuing with the recipe.
- Chop the fondant into smaller pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract and the invertase and mix it until the liquids are incorporated. It will be soft and sticky.
- Take approximately one-quarter of the fondant (about 4 ounces) and knead in the yellow food coloring until you get a bright, egg yolk color.
- Roll the yellow fondant into small balls about the size of a dime. You should get about 16 to 18 small yellow balls. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them until they are very firm.
- Once the yellow balls are firm, roll a larger ball of white candy and flatten it in your palm.
- Place the yellow "yolk" in the center of the egg "white," and wrap the white around the yellow ball. Form the candy into an egg shape, and place it back on the foil-covered sheet.
- Once all of your eggs are formed, refrigerate the candy again until it is firm enough to dip.
- Melt the chocolate candy coating. Using dipping tools or a fork, dip each egg in the coating and place it back on the foil-covered baking sheet.
- Let the eggs sit at room temperature, then check to make sure they are entirely covered in chocolate. If there are any holes in the coating, the filling might leak through, so make sure to patch up any weak spots or dip the eggs again until they're well-coated with chocolate.
- Place the eggs in an airtight container, and let them sit at room temperature for at least five days to liquefy the filling. If you can't wait that long, they will still have a great vanilla fondant flavor whenever you choose to eat them.

Steps:
- Make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease tart pan with butter. Pulse cookies and salt in a food processor until cookies are finely ground. With the motor running, slowly pour in melted butter and process until well combined.
- Using a measuring cup, firmly press cookie mixture into bottom and up sides of tart pan. Bake crust until firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes.
- Make the filling:
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat corn syrup, cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until combined, 1-2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat on low 1-2 minutes, then increase speed to medium and beat until incorporated, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer 1/2 cup filling to a medium bowl. Transfer remaining filling to a pastry or large resealable plastic bag; this is the "egg white" filling.
- Add yellow and red food coloring a few drops at a time to filling in bowl to match the color of an orange egg yolk. Transfer "yolk" filling to another pastry or large resealable plastic bag.
- Make the chocolate ganache and assemble the tart:
- Heat both chocolates in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let water touch bowl), stirring with a spatula, until chocolate is melted.
- Meanwhile, heat cream in a small pot over medium, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and small bubbles start to appear on the surface.
- Add salt to melted chocolate, then remove from heat and gradually whisk in cream until incorporated. Whisk in butter, then corn syrup, until smooth and combined.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups ganache into cooled crust; reserve remaining ganache in bowl. Chill filled crust until set, about 30 minutes.
- Snip off ends of pastry bags to create a 3/8" hole. Pipe "yolk" filling in a tight spiral in the center of the tart to create an orange "yolk" about 3" wide and 1/2" thick. Pipe "egg white" filling around "yolk" in a tight spiral, about 1/2" thick, leaving about a 1/2" ring of chocolate showing around "egg white" filling at the edges of tart.
- Set bowl with ganache over a pot of barely simmering water; heat ganache, stirring, until it pours easily. Pour over filling until covered; do not overfill. Chill until set, at least 3 hours. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
- Do Ahead
- Tart can be made 1 day ahead. Chill until set, then cover loosely with plastic wrap.
