Egg-citing Easter Treat: Nest Egg Recipe with a Whey Surprise!

Easter is finally here, and we're all full of egg-citement at Sealions HQ, as we can't wait to dig into some chocolate treats! To share the joy, we're going to give you one of our go-to recipes that's not only a breeze to make but also super tasty. So, get set to bake up a yummy Easter nest egg with a surprise twist of whey topping. No oven required!

What you’ll need:

1x Small Easter Egg (90g-100g)

2x Baking Milk Chocolate (300g Total)

4x Regular Shredded Wheat (90g Total)

3Tbsp Buttercream (We used pre-made)

¼ Scoop Sealions Whey Protein (11g)

1x Battle Bites Bar

Step 1:

Break up your shredded wheat in a bowl so that it’s all separated. Once this is done, break up your baking chocolate as per the packet instructions and place the chunks in a separate bowl to your shredded wheat.

Step 2:

Melt your baking chocolate in the microwave while checking every 10-20 seconds to ensure it is not burnt.

Step 3:

Pour the melted baking chocolate into your shredded wheat bowl and mix until all of the shredded wheat is coated.

Step 4:

This part can be a bit tricky – but we found a good tip! You need to separate your easter egg in two equal halves. This can be difficult as the egg can crack, so we recommend getting a sharp knife in the half point (please, be careful during this) any prying them apart very slowly and gently. Alternatively, you can use a heated knife to slice the halves apart.

Step 5:

Scoop the mixed shredded wheat and chocolate mixture equally between the easter egg halves. You can add as little or as much as you like. We’re chocoholics at Sealions – so we used the lot 😉 Set the nested eggs on to a plate or base and place in the fridge until set. This should not take long.

Step 6:

Once the nest has set, you need to make your buttercream topping. Scoop 2tbsp of buttercream into a separate bowl and add ¼ scoop of your favourite flavour whey protein – ours is Strawberry! Mix those two together; you may notice this has dried out the buttercream but do not worry, add a tiny drop of water into the mixture until it’s in a consistency that suits you.

Step 7:

Add the buttercream mixture on the top of the nests and add your favourite toppings – we chose Battle Bites.

Step 8:

Enjoy!
