Cream-filled eggs with mascarpone, white chocolate, and apricot jam

A creamy dessert with mascarpone and spicy apricot jam that I prepared for Easter, but didn't get a chance to write down the recipe for until now :D.

For the filled eggs, you will need 4 eggs, 100 grams of mascarpone, 20 grams of white chocolate, 1 teaspoon of coconut flakes, apricots from jam, and a little grated ginger. You will need a piping bag to portion the cheese mixture into the eggs.

For the garnish: nutmeg and fresh mint.

We empty 4 eggs, cracking only the top, then wash them with hot water and dry them (I even put them in the freezer for a few hours to ensure they are safe). You can find more uses for eggshells below.

Now, for the cream, we must blend all the ingredients, but the chocolate must be melted in a bain-marie beforehand. Mix everything in the blender until you get a creamy, uniform paste.

Pipe the cream into each eggshell, then add the jam.

Did you know?..

Numerous medical studies have shown that eggshell powder contains 90% calcium carbonate and 27 elements necessary for the body (copper, fluorine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, sulfur, zinc, silicon, etc.). To get an idea, an adult needs about 1000 milligrams of calcium every day, and a large egg hides up to 800 milligrams in its shell!

Because our daily diet is poor in silicon and molybdenum, two essential minerals for normal biochemical reactions in the body, the eggshell is our lifesaver that we should take advantage of.

Eggshells can also be used for small children, starting from one year old, because the process of bone tissue formation in their bodies is intense and requires a good intake of calcium. Including the shells in their meals has an extremely beneficial effect on rickets and anemia, osteoporosis (softening of the bones), as well as bleeding gums, constipation, irritability, asthma, etc.

The macerate from eggshells (with honey and lemon juice) is a remarkable remedy for treating calcium deficiency. It is also indicated for growth disorders, fractures, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc. And administering 3 grams of eggshell powder, 3 times a day, can banish hives and unpleasant mouth odor.

How is it administered?

After washing the eggshells very well (to remove traces of pesticides), we let them dry for a few days, then crush them in a mortar or a grinder until they become extremely fine, reaching the consistency of flour.

The next step depends on the intended use of the powder. We can do a cure with this powder for no more than a month (add the juice of two lemons and the same amount of honey to the powder, then let this mixture macerate for 3 days and take it before main meals), we can use it as fertilizer for plants, or use it as a kitchen cleaner.

The uses of eggshells don't stop there! Eggshells can unclog drains. They prevent the accumulation of deposits, being much more effective than commercial products, which can cause allergies and respiratory problems. And eggshell powder, placed in a cheesecloth bag and then in the washing machine with your clothes, becomes a natural, cheap, and effective whitener.
