Nigella Loves Lick the Spoon

n 2009 Nigella Lawson named Lick the Spoon’s Mint Filigree Easter Egg as her choice on her Nigella Love’s website.

“My egg of choice is dark and dense, its richness undercut by a pleasing bitterness and – here’s the thing – covered in a gossamer-thin layer of eau-de-nil coloured, mint-flavoured chocolate which itself is decorated with elegant curlicues of dark chocolate, the whole thing sitting on a chocolate plinth.

It is a thing of great beauty, and looks as if it comes out of the boudoir of one of the great French courtesans”.
