Total Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 7 Servings

Ingredients :

• 2 eggs room temperature
• ¼ tsp lemon juice
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ stick butter softened
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1-2 tbsp milk
• Candied Easter eggs

Instructions :

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F.
• Separate your eggs and pour the egg whites into a bowl (you will only need the egg whites for this recipe).
• Using an electric mixer, start beating egg whites on slow.
• Add ¼ tsp lemon juice as the egg whites mix.
• Increase the speed of your mixer and slowly add granulated sugar. Gradually increase speed to high.
• Beat the egg white mixture until it is white and forms stiff peaks. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Once the meringue mixture is done, scoop it into a piping bag, with Wilton’s 1M tip attached.
• Pipe out circular rosettes onto your lined baking sheet, about 2 inches in diameter.
• Once your rosettes are piped out, pipe out a second layer around the circumference of each rosette. This will leave a hollowed center to put your buttercream and candied eggs.
• Bake the meringue for 2 hours.
• Once the 2 hours are up, turn off the heat and let sit in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from oven and place on wire rack.
• Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder and milk.
• The chocolate buttercream is ready once the ingredients are completely combined, smooth and for semi-stiff peaks.
• Scoop the buttercream into a piping bag, with Wilton’s icing tip #233 attached.
• Frost the center of each meringue. Add 2-3 candied eggs on top.
• Serve and enjoy!
