Chocolate Easter Eggs - Pistachio - 5 pcs

Sawade Chocolate Pistachio Easter Eggs with a Soft Truffle Center

Sawade Chocolate Pistachio Easter Eggs are filled dark chocolate eggs featuring a soft pistachio butter truffle center. The filling melts rather than requiring chewing, and its vibrant green color comes from spinach, spirulina, and carrot.

Chocolate Pistachio Easter Eggs are filled hollow treats from Sawade in Berlin-Reinickendorf, consisting of a dark chocolate shell with a soft truffle cream center, each egg weighing approximately 20 grams. We pack five pieces in a cellophane bag and tie it with a cream-colored satin ribbon.

The truffle melts, the nut remains

In the confectionery world, pistachio usually refers to a processed marzipan that is firm and chewy. Here, instead, there is a butter-based truffle filling inside the hollow shell that melts in the mouth without any effort.

The thin dark chocolate shell snaps with a dry crunch, followed by the cream, which spreads over the tongue with the warmth only a cream with this fat content can achieve. A splash of lemon juice is included to cut through the richness, keeping the nut flavor fresh.

Nutty, buttery, with a bright hint of freshness – three sensations in a single bite. The pistachio does not work alone, as almond and hazelnut provide the base, giving the cream the necessary consistency required for a truffle filling.

Take the eggs out of the cool pantry ten minutes before having your coffee, as the filling only releases its fragrance at room temperature. When cold, the same center feels closed off and significantly flatter than it actually is.

Green from spinach, algae, and carrot

Pistachio fillings are naturally pale, a muted beige with a hint of green. If you want them to be Easter-green, you have to color them, and the only interesting question is with what.

Sawade uses spinach for the green, spirulina for depth, and carrot for the warm undertone. The result is a calm green that recalls young leaves in April, and because all three coloring agents are food-based, the tone varies slightly with each batch.

The company deliberately avoids artificial flavors, preservatives, and palm oil. Each egg is wrapped in lime-green foil, twisted at both ends like a candy and finished with the round white Sawade label.

Lemon juice concentrate and citrus flavoring are part of the recipe and are the reason why this filling appears brighter than other buttercream varieties. Without this touch of acidity, the pistachio would feel heavy in the egg and would hardly be enjoyable beyond the first bite.

Pairs with green tea and black coffee

The pistachio truffle pairs well with green tea or black coffee, as both offer a bitterness that balances the fat and cleanses the palate after each bite. This variety contains no alcohol, so the eggs can also be placed in children's baskets.

Because there is so much butter in the cream, these eggs should be kept cool, but not cold. In the refrigerator, they attract moisture and the shell turns gray; in a warm room, the center loses its structure and presses against the shell.

In a mixed basket, the lime green stands out immediately, as there is hardly any other foil that leans in this direction between pink and yellow. If you give the bag as a gift, you are adding a color among the pastels that no one expects.

For a firmer, almond-forward experience, try the Marzipan, for creamy brown, the Hazelnut Nougat in Dark Chocolate, and for a flaky texture, the Flaky Praline. All the varieties we source from Berlin can be found at Sawade Berlin Easter.
