Recipe Instructions
White 'Chocolate' Egg Shells Instructions:
Add the oven roasted bone marrow to a pan. Melt the bone marrow until there is hardly any fat left to render. Pour the mixture into a glass jar through a cheesecloth to ensure the bone marrow liquid is as clean as possible, with no bits in.
Pour the liquid bone marrow from the glass jar back into the pan (90g). Add in the tallow and honey. Stir frequently. Once the tallow has melted and the honey is totally dissolved into the mixture then remove the pan from the heat.
Allow the mixture to cool on the kitchen countertop before mixing it well.
Place the Easter Egg shell mould onto a baking tray.
Pour the contents of the pan equally between 6 Easter Egg shell moulds. Once the mixture in the shells begins to start thickening, use a spoon to spread the mixture evenly to cover all the shells, so that there will be a nice even look to the 'chocolate' egg shells once set.
Place the Easter Egg shell mould tray in the fridge.
Liver Mousse Instructions:
Rinse the veal liver under running water.
Use your fingers or a knife to remove any silvery membrane that might be on the liver.
Place the liver into a high speed blender.
Add the hot broth and melted tallow to the blender and then blend well until all the ingredients are nice and smooth.
Pour the contents of the blender into a small pan, and place on a low heat and cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 mins. Re-blend the mixture at the end. Reserve on the kitchen countertop until the mixture reaches room temperature.
Once the liver mousse mixture is no longer warm and has reached room temperature, remove the shell mould tray from the fridge.
Using a spatula, divide the liver mousse mixture equally between 4 of the Easter Egg Shells to fill them level with the top of the shells.
Place the tray back in the fridge for the shells and the mousse to set. This will take several hours (or ideally overnight).
Egg Assembly Suggestions:
Once the egg shells and mousse are nicely set, carefully remove the 4 shells from the moulds.
Place two shells together to form your 'chocolate' Easter egg. Repeat, to form the second egg.
Tie some colourful ribbon around each egg to hold the shells together.
Remove the two remaining egg shells from their moulds and add a few Spring 'Chocolate' Shapes to serve.
Happy Easter!
Tips
*If you're still getting to grips with eating liver (a mousse version like this will help!) then simply substitute this with heart or lamb kidney and proceed in the same way to make the mousse. They are all delicious!
**Any gelatinous and flavourful broth will work for this recipe.
***If you already have bone marrow liquid to hand, then simply use 90g. Otherwise, use slightly more oven roasted bone marrow as indicated, as some will be lost when sieving it through the cheesecloth.
Ideally, purchase your bones, fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.
Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances. If you are unsure, refer to the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet Rules document or consult with ICMNI in Hungary (Home - Nutriintervention).
Any honey (if using) should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

To maintain a good PKD Ratio, eat your eggs with 90g extra meat per Easter egg.
