Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 hollow chocolate Easter eggs (0.5 oz. each)
1/2 tsp. (about 1/4 of 1/4-oz. env.) KNOX Unflavored Gelatine
1 Tbsp. water
3 oz. BAKER'S White Chocolate, divided
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 drops yellow food coloring

Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe cream cheese mixture evenly into chocolate eggs. (Eggs will be full.) Refrigerate 45 min. to 1 hour or until filling is set.
