1. Line the bottom of a 20 cm springform cake tin with baking paper.
2. Place the chocolate in a glass or metal bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted.
3. Warm the cream slightly in a saucepan and stir into the melted chocolate.
4. Mix in the shortbread, Chuckles and nuts, and spoon into the tin. Chill for 2 hours.
5. When ready to serve, place a hot cloth around the sides of the tin for 3 minutes to melt the edges.
6. Unmould onto a platter and decorate with eggs.
Chef's note: When melting chocolate in a double-boiler, bring the water to a boil, then switch off the heat and add the chocolate to the top bowl instead of heating it up at the same time as the water.
