Chocolate Eggs – Nut Nougat – 5 pcs

Sawade Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Nougat Eggs

Sawade hazelnut nougat chocolate eggs are filled Easter eggs made of milk chocolate, with a center of soft hazelnut nougat. Hazelnut is the second ingredient listed in the recipe, appearing even before the cocoa butter, which is immediately noticeable in the roasting profile.

Hazelnut nougat chocolate eggs are filled Easter eggs from Sawade in Berlin-Reinickendorf, each weighing approximately 20 grams and wrapped in blue foil with the variety printed in white. We bundle five pieces in a cellophane bag tied with a satin ribbon, totaling 100 grams.

First the milk melts, then comes the nut

The shell is kept thin, as an egg of this size cannot support a heavy wall, which is why it gives way at the very first bite. Behind it lies the nougat, as soft as a cream and completely smooth.

First you taste the milk of the shell, then the roasted hazelnut, and finally, the cocoa remains as a subtle undertone. Milky, nutty, soft—this egg doesn't aim to surprise, but rather to please everyone at the table.

Vanilla is the only flavoring besides nut and cocoa, and it rounds off the roasting without overpowering it. This is why this variety tastes milder than its dark counterpart, while still having a distinct nut flavor.

In Germany, "nougat" refers to a paste of roasted nuts and sugar that is ground until it is completely smooth on the tongue. In French-speaking regions, the same word refers to a completely different confection made of egg whites, honey, and almonds.

At room temperature, the filling melts more quickly, while it remains firm and solid if brought in from a cold hallway. For two people at a coffee table, five eggs are plenty; for a single child, they can even last throughout Easter day.

Why a milk chocolate shell melts sooner

Milk chocolate contains milk powder and milk fat, both of which lower the melting point of the shell. As a result, it melts on the tongue sooner than a dark shell, revealing the center more quickly.

This is exactly what suits a nougat that relies on nut fats and does not require a hard snap. A cocoa content of at least 32 percent keeps the sweetness in check without overshadowing the nut.

Sawade consciously avoids artificial flavorings, preservatives, and palm oil; with a filling of nuts, sugar, and cocoa, any shortcuts would be immediately apparent. What tastes good in the end spent time in the roasting pan beforehand.

An egg for Easter morning with milk coffee

The hazelnut nougat egg pairs well with milk coffee, cold cocoa, and the hand that reaches into the nest first on Easter morning. This variety contains no alcohol, making it suitable for children's plates as well.

A cool, dark cupboard keeps the shell shiny; in the refrigerator, moisture settles on it and the shine does not return. Once a bag has become dull, it cannot be polished.

Amidst the yellows and pinks in the nest, the blue eggs are hard to miss, and each foil is labeled in white text. Therefore, no one at the breakfast table has to guess which variety they have picked.

The same nougat is darker in the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Nougat Eggs, crunchier in the Nougat Crisp, and the Marzipan Egg contains no nougat at all. Everything else Sawade has to offer for your Easter nest can be found at Sawade Berlin Easter.
