Are you ready to test your level of creativity today with chocolate?

If so, here’s how to make the Viral Dubai Easter Egg for the family – We dare you to share!

Ingredients

500g solid milk chocolate

200g Kataifi (Kataifi is a delicate, shredded phyllo dough pastry, but you can substitute with Shredded Wheat but may not be quite as crunchy)

60g Tahini

300g pistachio cream (shop bought or homemade / blended pistachios)

1 sheet gold leaf

20g green coloured chocolate (mix oil-based colour with white chocolate)

Equipment

Egg mould x 2 halves

Plastic microwaveable bowls x 2

Spatula x 2

Scraper

Greaseproof paper

Piping bags

Microwave

Recipe based on a 10” tall egg weighing approx. 1KG.

Method

Take one clean (half) egg mould and decorate the inside with drizzles of green chocolate using a piping bag and add gold leaf.

Fill the mould with tempered milk chocolate.

Empty out the excess chocolate, leaving a layer inside.

Once set, scrape off the excess and proceed to the next step.

Fill with a thick layer of the premixed pistachio, tahini, and Kataifi.

Cover the pistachio layer with another layer of milk chocolate and leave to set.

Once completely set, scrape any excess and place in the fridge.

Stick the two halves together with tempered chocolate—perhaps hiding some chocolate goodies inside, like Oli’s signature Holy Grail.

Looking to elevate your chocolate indulgence even further? The legendary Holy Grail chocolate can be purchased exclusively at Oli The Choc’s official store which you will find here https://www.olithechoc.com

The Perfect Christmas Present for the Chocolate Lover: A Hot Chocolate Bomb Set

Christmas is the season of giving, and there’s no better way to spread warmth and joy than with a gift that melts hearts—literally. 

For the chocolate lover in your life, a Hot Chocolate Bomb Set is the ultimate festive treat. These decorative spheres of chocolate aren’t just edible; they’re an experience.

 Imagine watching a beautifully crafted chocolate ball dissolve in warm milk, revealing a cascade of rich cocoa and miniature marshmallows. Here’s why a Hot Chocolate Bomb Set is a must-have for this holiday season.

What Are Hot Chocolate Bombs?

Hot chocolate bombs are hollow spheres of high-quality chocolate, filled with cocoa mix, marshmallows, or other delightful surprises like sprinkles, caramel, or even edible glitter. When submerged in hot milk, the outer chocolate shell melts away, releasing the contents to create a decadent mug of hot cocoa. Both visually mesmerising and utterly delicious, they transform a simple drink into an indulgent ritual.

Why They Make the Perfect Gift

Fun and Interactive

Watching a hot chocolate bomb dissolve is pure magic. It’s the kind of moment that sparks joy, no matter your age. For children, it’s an exciting treat; for adults, it’s a nostalgic reminder of the simple pleasures of the season.

Customisable Options

Many Hot Chocolate Bomb Sets come with a variety of flavours and designs. Think classic milk chocolate, white chocolate with peppermint swirls, or dark chocolate filled with orange zest. Some sets even allow for personalisation, making your gift as unique as the recipient.

Beautiful Presentation

These chocolate bombs often come in beautifully designed packaging that screams Christmas cheer. Many sets feature festive themes, from snowflakes to Christmas trees, making them a gorgeous addition to any holiday celebration.

Perfect for Cold Winter Nights

There’s nothing better than curling up on a chilly evening with a steaming mug of cocoa. Hot chocolate bombs turn an everyday comfort into an elegant and indulgent affair, perfect for winding down after a long day of holiday festivities.

Choosing the Right Set

When shopping for a Hot Chocolate Bomb Set, consider the following:

Quality of Chocolate: Opt for sets made with real, high-quality chocolate rather than cocoa substitutes.

Flavour Variety: A mix of flavours adds an element of surprise and keeps the experience fresh.

Dietary Needs: Look for dairy-free or vegan options if your recipient has dietary restrictions.

Extras: Some sets include festive mugs, stirring spoons, or even a keepsake tin for added charm.

Online Retailers: Websites like Etsy and Not On The High Street offer beautifully designed sets that support small businesses.
