Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in confectioners' sugar to make a workable dough. For best results, use your hands for mixing.
- Divide the dough into four parts. Leave one of the parts plain. To the second part, mix in peanut butter. Mix coconut into the third part, and cocoa powder into the last part. Roll each type of dough into egg shapes, and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until hard, at least an hour.
- Melt chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick for coating, stir in a teaspoon of the shortening or oil until it thins to your desired consistency. Dip the chilled candy eggs in chocolate, and return to the waxed paper lined sheet to set. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to harden.

Steps:
- Wash each half of your Easter egg mould with hot soapy water and a soft sponge, then dry carefully. Using a ball of cotton wool, buff the inside of the mould. The better the shine on the mould, the better the finish on the chocolate.
- Melt then temper the white chocolate for the brush strokes (see tip).
- Colour half the melted white chocolate with a little of the gel if you want, then brush graphic stripes of chocolate onto the moulds. Let each colour set before you add the next (setting is really speedy if you've achieved good temper). Go over some stripes twice, to make the colours pop out. Repeat the melting and tempering process with the dark chocolate, if you like.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Melt and temper the milk chocolate. Half-fill one mould with the chocolate, then tip it this way and that to completely cover the mould.
- Pour the excess back into the chocolate bowl, and scrape a palette knife across the mould to clean it up. Repeat with the other half of the egg. Set the moulds, flat-side down, on the lined sheet. Transfer to the fridge and leave to set for about 10 mins.
- When the chocolate is solid, flex the moulds to gently release. Take your time - you will see the air slowly creepy its way between the plastic and the shiny, hard chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Heat a baking sheet in the oven until warm. Put the gloves on (prevents fingerprints) and pick up one side of the egg. Any messy edges can be melted flat by holding them against the tray. Next, carefully rub the flat edge of the egg on the tray to melt it a little.
- Repeat with the second side. If you're struggling to pick up the egg from the tray, use your palette knife to help.
- Hold the melted edges of the egg together for a few moments until they stick. Wipe away any excess, then leave the egg to set in the fridge for a few mins. The egg is now ready to give or wrap up for Easter. Store in a cool place away from fluctuating temperatures.

- Start with the pastry. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Unroll one of the pastry rolls and place on the prepared tray. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of icing sugar (confectioners' sugar) on top, and smooth it all over the pastry with your hands. Place another sheet of baking parchment on top, then place a second baking tray on top (same size as the first). Place a small oven proof pan on top to weigh the top tin down.
- Place in the oven and cook for 23-30 minutes until the pastry is a dark golden brown (check after 23 minutes, and if not golden, place back in the oven (you can take the pan off at this point) and continue to check every few minutes. Remove from the oven and repeat with the second pastry roll.I like to cook my pastry in two batches, as it cooks more evenly (and I haven't got 4 same-size trays!).
- Once cooked, allow the pastry to cool, then cut into approx 11.5cm x 7.5cm rectangles. You should get 9 rectangles from each pastry sheet (18 altogether). This will make 6 mille feuille. You can cut the pastry into small pieces if you wish, just make sure you have a number that is divisable by 3, as you want 3 layers of pastry in each mille feuille.
- Now make the chocolate creme patissiere (chocolate custard). Add the milk, cream and vanilla extract to a large pan. Heat until just before boiling point (don't let it boil).

- Melt the chocolate to package instruction and smooth a medium thick coat into each of the eggs.
- While the chocolate is still melted-but not really hot-spoon in about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of caramel. The exact amount needed will depend on how much chocolate is already in the egg. You want to make sure that you leave enough room for a thin chocolate layer over the caramel so try not to overfill.
- Use a small spoon to gently even out the caramel filling in the eggs and then cap the eggs with an even layer of chocolate.
