The story behind this recipe
A creamy dessert with mascarpone and spicy apricot jam that I prepared for Easter, but didn't get around to writing down the recipe for :D.
For the stuffed eggs:
4 eggs
100 grams of mascarpone
20 grams white chocolate
1 teaspoon coconut flakes
apricots from jam
A little grated ginger
You will need a piping bag to dispense the cheese into the eggs.
For 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 be sure they are safe). You can find more uses for eggshells below.
Now, for the cream, we must blend all the ingredients, but first, the chocolate must be melted in a double boiler.
We mix everything in the blender until we get a smooth and creamy paste.
We pipe the cream into each eggshell, then add the jam.
Did you know that?..
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, from one year old, because in their bodies the process of bone tissue formation is intense and requires a good intake of calcium. Shells included in their meals have an extremely beneficial effect on rickets and anemia, osteoporosis (softening of the bones), but also for bleeding gums, constipation, irritability, bronchial asthma, etc.
Macerated 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 bad breath.
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 and reach the consistency of flour.
The next step depends on the use we want the powder to have. We can do a cure with this powder for no more than a month (we add the juice of two lemons and the same amount of honey over the powder, then leave this mixture to macerate for 3 days and take it before main meals), we can use it as fertilizer for plants, or we can use it as a kitchen detergent.
The uses of eggshells don't stop there! Eggshells unclog pipes. They prevent the accumulation of deposits, being much more effective than store-bought products, which can cause allergies and respiratory problems. And eggshell powder, placed in a cheesecloth bag and then in the washing machine with clothes, becomes a natural, cheap, and effective bleach.
