Easter comes with it a host of special moments and traditions that are different for everyone.
If you’re someone that love to madly run around the garden hunting for shiny foiled eggs (no matter how old you are!), you might find the following images hard to believe.
But for the world’s best chocolatiers and pastry chefs, Easter is a time to share their mastery of the craft.
Luxury houses too, get in on the act, with special creations that wrap up the aura of their brand in delicate chocolate designs.
This year we’ve enjoyed seeing TikToker Carmie Selitto purchase and try some of the most luxurious and expensive eggs.
If you can’t bear to see them broken down and bitten into, just enjoy these images while you ponder the hours of craft and technical precision required to create the following luxury offerings.
The Best Luxury Eggs of 2026:
Dior
A couture-inspired chocolate creation is Dior’s 2026 Easter egg by multi-starred chef Yannick Alléno. The dark and white chocolate egg features two of the French fashion’s house motifs, bows and its famous medallion emblem. Hidden inside you’ll find a selection of bite-size chocolates featuring further signature details – the cannage pattern, button shapes and ‘CD’ initials.
Marchesi 1824
One of Milan’s oldest and most prestigious pastry shops was founded 1824 by the Marchesi family. Its Easter creations are an annual highlight and 2026 is no different, with a selection of stunning, intricately detailed chocolate eggs on offer. Setting you back 1300€, this egg is made with high-quality white chocolate and is entirely hand-decorated by pastry chefs with delicate sugar paste and royal icing details.
Louis Vuitton
There’s no mistaking the home of this embossed, logo-loving delight. For Easter 2026, pastry chef Maxime Frédéric’s “Chocolate Egg Bag” recreates in chocolate the ‘Egg Bag’ handbag created in 2019 by Nicolas Ghesquière, at the time Artistic Director for Louis Vuitton. It is filled with roasted dried fruit, candied fruit, and hazelnut praline and a milk chocolate bar with a hazelnut praline and lemon caramel center.
The Connaught
Nicolas Rouzaud’s 2026 creation for London Hotel The Connaught is inspired by the pastry chef’s childhood memories of fruit picking in his family’s orchard in France. The egg consists of a chocolate crumble layered with soft caramel and hazelnut praliné.
Hôtel Plaza Athénée
At Hôtel Plaza Athénée Paris Executive Pastry Chef Angelo Musa and Pastry Chef Elisabeth Hot bring the drama with the ‘Golden Key Egg.’ Enrobed in the hotel’s signature red in a velvet finish, it is made with 62% Passionato dark chocolate. Once opened, the egg reveals a series of chocolate keys in Tannea 43% milk chocolate and filled with a smooth hazelnut praline.
Ritz Paris
Called the Chocolate Wafer Egg, this design is inspired by the childhood memories of Chef Joris Theysset. It has a dark chocolate shell, enclosing layers of delicate, crispy wafers, paired with a chocolate-hazelnut spread and pieces of toasted hazelnuts. At its heart, small hazelnut, pistachio, and chocolate wafers extend the textural and flavour experience.
Brach Paris

Hofmann
Pastelería Hofmann is a renowned signature pastry shop in Barcelona, founded in 2008 by acclaimed chef Mey Hofmann. It is an extension of the prestigious Hofmann Cooking School.
