If you have been following Fork & Beans for a while, you will note my love for holidays and foods that are shaped in celebration for it. Shoot, I have a section in my Recipes that is labeled “Holidays“ so it’s needless to say that I love getting creative with my food when there is a holiday approaching. Aside from Halloween (you should know that I am obsessed with Halloween!) Easter is my second favorite holiday to make food for. Why? I have no clue but I am assuming it has something to do with creating desserts that look like eggs maybe? I just plain ol’ love me an egg-shaped dessert.
When I feverishly created my Vegan White Chocolate Mousse recipe, I knew immediately how I was going to use it. In fact, I created it *just* for these Vegan Cadbury Egg Bowls. I’m not even exaggerating when I say how excited I was to assemble them. Every phase to making these made me giggle like a little school girl…
How to create the Edible Non-Dairy Chocolate Bowls:
Melt your chocolate (if you need tips of chocolate-making, this post is just for you) in a heat-safe bowl.
Lightly blow up a balloon and tie it to secure. I prefer cleaning and drying off the balloon at this point (no need for the taste of latex). Also, think about the radius of your blown-up balloon–you will be filling the bowl with 1/3 c. mousse so you don’t want it too big (I just blew in one small breath of air). OR use water balloons–they will be a good size once filled with air.
Gently dip the balloon into the bowl of melted chocolate, ensuring that the sides are coated as well.
Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes. Make sure that the chocolate is fully set otherwise when you pop the balloon the bowl will cave in.
Once the chocolate has set, pop each balloon and carefully remove it from what is now the edible bowl. If you are having difficulties removing the balloon, just be patient and gentle with it, moving it back and forth until completely removed.
Place back into the freezer until you are ready to serve.
Prepare your vegan white chocolate mousse and have the canned apricot or peach ready (I used a 1 1/2″ round cutter for the perfect size for the yolk) so you can immediately fill the edible chocolate bowls because you are not going to want to wait any longer to eat up these super festive Vegan Cadbury Egg Bowls. Eeeeeeeeee….aster!

April 8, 2014 at 11:28 amYou are so talented! This is just fabulous 🙂 I didn’t know there were such a thing as canned apricots! How peculiar! Boy they do look exactly like egg yolks 🙂

April 7, 2014 at 8:03 amI love these! So cute! I never would have thought apricot for the yolk. I was sure you did some kitchen alchemy with potions and powders and such, and the yolk was going to be some encapsulated goo of some sort. I like the apricot idea even better!
Cara
April 7, 2014 at 8:56 amKitchen alchemy! haha. That should have been my blog name 🙂 xo!

April 5, 2014 at 9:18 amThese are so adorable. YOU are adorable! Thet should be put up on the Instructables web site for fun food options. Chocolate bowls are so much fun. You should make a couple of double or triple strength ones, fill them with goodies and seal with more chocolate. Your nieces would go bananas. Heck, I’d go bananas. You do know Caitlin and I have wedding anniversaries next week right? Just sayin’ 🙂
Cara
April 7, 2014 at 8:50 amChocolate bowls ARE so much fun! It was my first time doing them and I was so excited that I figured out how to do them but then disappointed when I realized that I wasn’t the first person to think of it. Womp womp. ha! Sending you an anniversary bowl… xo
