Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe (2023)


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– ½ cup corn syrup
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons heavy cream
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Yellow food coloring (optional)
– White food coloring (optional)


Instructions

Creating your own Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

2. Prepare Egg Molds: Use plastic egg molds or muffin tins lined with plastic wrap. Coat the inside of each mold with melted chocolate, making sure it’s thick enough to hold together when removed.

3. Chill the Chocolate: Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

4. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, softened butter, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt. Mix until a smooth and creamy texture forms.

5. Color the Filling: If you’d like to mimic the classic egg yolk, divide the filling into two portions. Color one portion with yellow food coloring and leave the other white.

6. Fill the Molds: Take the chilled chocolate molds out of the refrigerator. Fill each with a dollop of the white filling first, then add some yellow filling on top, creating the classic egg look. Don’t overfill—leave some room for chocolate covering.

7. Seal the Eggs: Coat the top of the filling with more melted chocolate, ensuring the edges are sealed. Smooth it out so the top is flat.

8. Chill Again: Return the molds to the fridge for another 30-45 minutes, allowing them to set completely.

9. Remove from Molds: Once set, carefully remove the chocolates from the molds. If you used plastic wrap, you can lift them easily from the molds.

10. Store or Enjoy: Your Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs are ready! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy them.
