I relax. It often helps me bring order to thoughts that melt like butter in the saucepan. I am not saying that suddenly, everything becomes manageable and solvable.<\/p>\n<p>In my case, cooking has the power to bring order to the thoughts in my head, putting me in front of things for what they are. And even if the Milk Oracle does not appear to show the way or solve problems, the same seeing things for what they are helps even if, at times, it hurts.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, I find my direction and the will to continue.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-24694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4129.jpg\" alt=\"Uovo di Pasqua farcito con crema di mascarpone\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4129.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4129-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4129-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-24698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4140.jpg\" alt=\"Uovo di Pasqua farcito con crema di mascarpone\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4140.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4140-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_4140-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Stuffed Chocolate Easter Egg<\/h4>\n<p>Inspiration is a fleeting thought that brings with it an idea.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s why I immediately thought of mascarpone cream even before I read the egg recipe in La Cucina Italiana.<\/p>\n<p>To impress, choose a chocolate egg (your favorite) and have fun stuffing and decorating it, perhaps with edible flowers, fresh or dried. But remember that not all flowers can be eaten. In season, you can use violets (the ones you see in the photo are not an example of an edible flower but of the only flower I found when I took the picture).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to play with the little ones at home, choose small chocolate eggs and make the cream (perhaps in a small amount), then leave them free to stuff and decorate their eggs.<\/p>\n<p>No one is stopping you from filling with tiramisu cream.<\/p>\n<p>Buona Pasqua, Monica<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>Keep in Touch<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">To receive unpublished recipes, tips, and food stories, sign up for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/foodnotesfrombologna.substack.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Tortellini&amp;CO newsletter<\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Follow me on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tortelliniandco\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Instagram<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>.<\/b><b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Choose the mascarpone cream of your choice<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple: brown icing sugar and mascarpone.<\/li>\n<li>Greedy: condensed milk, brown icing sugar, and mascarpone.<\/li>\n<li>Rich: mascarpone, sugar and egg yolks.<\/li>\n<li>Whipped: egg whites whipped with sugar and mascarpone.<\/li>\n<li>Upbeat: mascarpone with coffee.<\/li>\n<li>Special: lactose-free mascarpone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-24591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2.jpg\" alt=\"Uovo di Pasqua farcito con crema di mascarpone\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3824-2-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Stuffed Chocolate Easter Egg Recipe<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ingredients<br \/>\n4-6 servings<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>1\/2 Easter egg, about 150-200 g<br \/>\n400 g mascarpone cheese<br \/>\n100 g of powdered sugar<\/p>\n<p>To decorate, you can use<\/p>\n<p>grated coconut<br \/>\ncolored candies<br \/>\nedible flowers<br \/>\npistachio grains<br \/>\nchocolate chips<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Method<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cut the easter egg in half by sticking the knife where you see the chocolate line joining the two shells.
