FAQs
Can I make Chocolate Raspberry Eggs Recipe ahead of time?
Yes. Bake the eggs, let them cool, and store in the fridge. Add the raspberry glaze just before serving.
What’s the best substitute for dark chocolate?
Milk chocolate works for a sweeter version, or you can use a high‑quality cocoa powder mixed with a bit more cream.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to retain the custard’s texture.
Why did my eggs turn out dry?
Over‑baking is the usual culprit. Bake until the center still wobbles slightly, then it will set perfectly as it cools.
