Easter Gifts for Adults: Hazelnut, Pistachio & Treats to Share
Easter · Easter Sunday
Which spread should you choose for Easter?
Past a certain age, hunting for eggs in the garden loses its appeal. Wanting something to open does not.
A spread is chocolate that lasts three weeks instead of one afternoon. And it gets shared at Monday breakfast, once the bells have gone.
Hazelnut is the essential one: roasted, straightforward, not overly sweet. The one you finish with a spoon, telling yourself you will stop after this.
The green star of spring
The Pistachio Supreme is rarer, and that is exactly what makes it a gift: you will not find it at the corner supermarket.
The pistachios are worked into a fine paste, with no colouring — the colour comes from the nut, not from a bottle.
It is the one that surprises, where hazelnut is the one that reassures.
Easter, the intense side
Dark chocolate and tonka — for those who prefer dark to milk, and who find Easter eggs too sweet.
The tonka bean brings a bitter-almond and vanilla note that extends the cocoa instead of softening it.
Poured over an Easter dessert, it holds far better than melted chocolate.
What should you serve for Easter brunch?
An Easter table comes down to three things: good bread, two or three open jars, and something to dip into them. Brioche, pancakes, sliced fruit.
A box of three spreads covers the whole table, and what is left over lasts until summer.
Nothing to cook on the morning itself: open, set down, sit.
Everything you need for a gourmet Easter
What can you give at Easter instead of chocolate? An artisanal spread: the same pleasure, but one that lasts several weeks.
Pistachio or hazelnut? Hazelnut if the gift has to please everyone, pistachio if it has to surprise.
Which spread for an Easter dessert? Dark chocolate and tonka poured over, or hazelnut rolled into pancakes.
