Trine Hahnemann’s recipe for Easter eggs

Marzipan Easter Eggs Trine Hahnemann Photography and prop styling: Kate Whitaker Food Styling: Jules Mercer OFM 20 Best Easter Observer Food Monthly Photograph: Kate Whitaker/The Observer

Eggs symbolise fertility, health and life, and are therefore perfect as a gesture. And before Easter it’s very important to send out letters that have shapes cut out of them and include a number of dots corresponding to the number of letters in the sender’s name. The recipient has to guess who the letter is from and if they don’t, they owe the sender an Easter egg.

Makes 20
good-quality marzipan 300g (at least 60% almonds)
dark chocolate 200g, finely chopped
walnuts 30g, chopped
unwaxed lemon zest 1-2 tbsp, finely grated
