Trompe l’oeuf

So, after a couple of years off, this Easter I resurrected (

I give you… The Fondant Egg:
Breakfast for dinner?
I may have been chucked into adulthood with no idea how to cook a chicken breast, and an echoing chasm in my brain where “quick and easy” dinner recipes belong. But anything sugar-based? I have that shit down cold. You show me a greeting card-worthy day, and I will show you a recipe that combines at least three forms of sweetener.
Fondant egg -- innards.
These fondant eggs are not for the faint of heart, or diabetic. Or… Look. Human beings were really never meant to eat these. But on this, the holiest of zombie weekends, does it not make sense to celebrate by pushing the boundaries of our physical constitution? Can we not, nay, should we not mark Zombie Jesus Day with sugar mixed with sugar, wrapped in sugar, dipped in chocolate? Yes. Yes we should.

If you haven’t asked me to set one of these aside for you, and you want to know what it feels like to eat one, I have made this Highly Scientific Graph(TM) which should explain everything:

Some people would say that the trick is to eat the “egg” in a single bite. Those people would not be wrong.

In summary, don’t forget to put carrots out for the Easter Bunny or he won’t leave you any crucified chickens!

I may be fuzzy on how this holiday works.

Happy Thursday!

  1. Dear sweet dog. The idea of eating one of those in a single bite. That’s just so dangerous! Especially if you’d piped the decorative hard icing sugar on top as well.

  2. My mom used to make these… soooo good.
