Step-by-step

  1. Cut the raspberries into mashed-brain-sized pieces.
  2. Take the chocolate egg and, using a knife, cut a small hole in the top of the egg towards the back.
  3. In a jug, make up the jelly as directed on the packet and stir in the raspberries (you should have expected this recipe to be a little fruity), putting it aside to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, beat the butter and icing sugar together until fluffy. Keeping back a very small amount for the tongue, colour the butter cream with black food colour. Colour the remaining amount red
  5. Transfer the black icing to a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and add hair and features to the egg. Fill in the tongue with the red icing using the tip of a knife.
  6. Crush the cashew nuts using a large knife and with leftover icing, attach them to the mouth to look like teeth.
  7. Once cooled and just beginning to set, carefully pour the jelly into the head and leave to set.
  8. To serve, place your thumbs in the egg’s ‘eyes’, allowing them to melt the chocolate a little before pushing through and crushing the egg to reveal the jelly inside.
  9. As the chocolate face gives way beneath your hands, loudly confess to your hideous crimes and watch as your guests quietly make towards the door.
