Just in time for Easter, sharing with you made-from-scratch, Oreo, cream cheese, and marzipan Easter Eggs! 

I'm always interested to study about festivals and traditions of various cultures. In India, we have a lot of traditional festivals and fasting period throughout the year. In-fact, few days back, I shared with you about Navratri Fasts which are going on right now. After coming to States, I have learned so much about so many other traditions and cultures, festivals and especially their foods :) Food is quintessential part of every tradition or festival, no matter where you go! 

Easter Eggs Basket

Easter is observed in commemoration of crucifixion of lord Jesus and is generally one week long event in most places. This post is not focused on religious aspect, so I will go straight to food prospective. Do you know? Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies are two most widely popular concepts of Easter! Other than traditional foods, these days you will not a find a single store without a wide variety of Egg and bunny shaped candies, toys and a lot more fun treats for kids!

Every kid would want to play "Easter Egg Hunt" this time of the year! So, to contribute to spirits of Easter and for all awesome cute little kids out there, I have made these Yellow Yolk Oreo Cream Eggs!

Yellow Yolk Oreo Cream Eggs for #Easter

These eggs have two of my favorite ingredients. Oreo and Marzipan. I think, Oreo needs no introduction! I'll be hugely surprised if anyone didn't like or know Oreo!! That chocolaty taste with creamy center, specially when dunked in milk! yummy yummy!

Recently, I got introduced to a delicious edible almond candy dough called Marzipan. At first bite, it tasted like Indian Badam Barfi (almond fudge). I can't tell you how much I loved it. I'm a huge fan of Indian Almond Fudge and was amazed to find a similar tasting candy so widely popular in States. Especially during Christmas, this candy is widely consumed. However, Marzipan is available all year round in all stores. You will easily find it in Baking Isle of most stores.

Oreo Cream Cheese Easter Eggs Basket

So for this candy, I combined my two favorites: Oreo and Marzipan, to make delicious yellow yolk, edible Easter eggs basket. I have covered the eggs in sprinkles and dark cocoa powder. You can cover these eggs in melted chocolate or white chocolate or colored white chocolate too.

I hope you will enjoy making and eating these creamy fudge-like oreo-egg-shell and almond-candy-yellow-yolk! I have to tell you, I really enjoyed cutting open to reveal the yellow-yolk! so exciting!!! It looked like a delicious Hard Boiled Egg :) Don't you think?
