For the pastry cream, use a whisk to mix the yolks of San Juan® Eggs with the sugar until the color of the yolks lightens a bit. Then add the vanilla essence and cornstarch, incorporating them with constant movements until the lumps are dissolved. Set aside.

Heat the milk in a small pot without letting it boil; once it has reached the temperature before boiling (85 °C), pour a little of this hot milk into the previous mixture (of yolks) and stir constantly to prevent the San Juan® egg yolk mixture from cooking. While doing this, you should not remove the milk from the heat and should ensure it does not boil. After mixing a little hot milk with the yolk mixture, pour the entire mixture into the milk in the small pot and keep over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Let cool for 30 minutes. With the help of a mixer, beat the peanut cream with the whisk for 5 minutes, until it looks fluffy, and gradually add the pastry cream. Chill for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. For the chocolate eggs, cover a San Juan® Egg piece with non-stick plastic and dip half of the egg horizontally in the melted chocolate; rest the egg on a surface to let the chocolate harden, repeat the process to give a second and third layer, chill the chocolate in the refrigerator for a quicker result; make several halves. Remove from the refrigerator and carefully peel off the plastic, fill the chocolate egg with peanut cream and chopped chocolate chip cookies, cover with the other half and join them with a bit of chocolate. Refrigerate again. Decorate to your liking with materials you have at home, have fun, and enjoy.
