Cadbury Creme Egg Bites recipe. Easy, delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 6 Cadbury Creme Eggs
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1-2 drops yellow food coloring (optional, for decoration)
  • 1-2 drops white food coloring (optional, for decoration)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Chill Cadbury Creme Eggs. Carefully slice each Creme Egg into quarters, trying to keep the yolk intact. Set aside in the fridge.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Scoop about a tablespoon of batter into each prepared mini muffin liner.
  • Gently press one chilled Creme Egg quarter into the center of the batter in each cup, ensuring it’s mostly covered.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake part (not the fondant) comes out clean. Do not overbake.
  • Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the whipped white chocolate ganache: Place white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer around the edges (do not boil vigorously).
  • Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. Gently whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled and firm.
  • Once chilled, transfer the solid ganache to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and doubles in volume, resembling a cloud-like frosting.
  • For the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and completely melted.
  • Take a cooled Cadbury Creme Egg Bite, hold it by the base, and quickly dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped bite onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • While the chocolate is still wet, add a small swirl of the whipped white chocolate ganache for decoration. Let the chocolate set completely.

Notes

These delightful little morsels capture all the magic of a classic Cadbury Creme Egg – the rich, creamy fondant, the luscious yolk-like center, and the smooth milk chocolate shell – but in a bite-sized format that’s perfect for sharing (or not!). Imagine a soft, cakey base infused with vanilla, cradling a surprise burst of sweet, gooey creme egg filling, all enrobed in a generous layer of decadent chocolate. They’re a symphony of textures and flavors, promising a nostalgic trip down memory lane with every pop-in-your-mouth bite, making them an absolute must-have for any spring celebration.
