Step-by-step
- Cut the raspberries into mashed-brain-sized pieces.
- Take the chocolate egg and, using a knife, cut a small hole in the top of the egg towards the back.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- Crush the cashew nuts using a large knife and with leftover icing, attach them to the mouth to look like teeth.
- Once cooled and just beginning to set, carefully pour the jelly into the head and leave to set.
- 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.
- 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.
