2. Pour over the roughly chopped white chocolate and whisk until all the chocolate is melted.
3. Semi-whip the Bulla Thickened Cream (b) until it has some body and still collapses.
4. Fold the cream gently through the chocolate mixture with a flexible spatula.
Assembly
Spoon a small amount of the passionfruit mixture into the base of the chocolate eggs and cover with the Bulla white chocolate cream until you reach just under the top of the eggs rim.
