Method:

• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees, while it is preheating line a muffin tray with muffin paper cake holders.
• Take a large bowl and add flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a separate mixing bowl chuck in the sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth, once you have a smooth consistency stir in the milk.
• Pour the wet smooth batter into the flour in the large mixing bowl and mix together. Pour the mixture into each of the muffin holders until there is no mixture left. It’s now time to place 1 mini Cadbury creme egg in the centre of each muffin (yum!). You submerge the egg into the batter but make sure to not push it completely to the bottom.
• Bake the muffins for 14-16 minutes, until the top and edges are slightly golden brown.
• Leave the muffins to cool on a wire rack before slicing it down the middle to reveal the gooey Crème egg centre!

Method:

• Pour the milk into a saucepan and warm the milk, making sure it doesn’t overheat and curdle. Add the sugar, 1/2 cup cream and salt into the saucepan. Scrape the vanilla bean into the creamy mixture then chuck in the pod itself. Remove the saucepan from the hob, loosely cover it and leave it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Put a large mixing bowl on top of a mound of lice and let it rest for 1 minute then pour in the remaining 1/2 cup cream into the bowl. (Set a mesh strainer on top.)
• Crack the eggs and place the egg yolk in a small mixing bowl and whisk up the yolks. Slowly add some of the warm mixture into the eggs and then whisk the mixture into the separate milk mixture.
• Now this part can be tricky… slowly stir the milk mixture without stopping over a medium heat until thickened. Pour it through a strainer into the large cold mixing bowl that holding the cream. Now add the vanilla extract and let it all sit in the ice bath until it comes to room temperature.
• If you have an ice cream mixer, follow the machine’s instructions and add the chopped mini eggs during the last few minutes of churning.
• If you are making it old-style and freezing it by hand, place the custardy mixture in the refrigerator to chill then move it to the freezer once it’s cold. Every 30-45 minutes, take the mixture out and whisk it up. When it is almost frozen, add the chopped up crème eggs and stir.

3. Cadbury Creme Egg Chocolate Pancakes

Ingredients:

Scotch Pancakes:
120g self-raising four

Method:

• Whisk the 100ml double cream and 1 tbsp caster sugar until thick and fluffy.
• In a small bowl mix together the egg and milk.
• Get a large mixing bowl and sieve the flour into it then pour in the egg mixture in also. Mix it all together until it becomes a smooth, lumpy free mixture.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium to high heat.
• Add 1 tbsp of batter into your hot pan for each pancake making sure they sit in a rounded shape. They usually take about 2-3 minutes to start to bubble. Once you see the bubbles, gently ease the edges and flip over pancake with a spatula onto the other side. Note that the second side never takes as long to become golden brown!
• It’s now time to make the yummy crème egg sauce! Melt and mix together a creme egg cut into quarters with 2 tbsp of double cream.
• Stack your pancakes, spreading a thick layer of the original double cream mixture between each pancake and then slowly drizzle the mound with your creme egg sauce and if you are feeling really crème eggy – add half a crème egg to the top of the stack!

4. Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs

Ingredients:
½ cup of golden syrup
6 tablespoons butter, softened
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups of icing sugar
¼ to ½ teaspoon yellow food colouring
12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (or 1 bag bittersweet chocolate chips)

Image: food52.com
 

Method:

• Place the butter in a large bowl and mix it until it becomes soft and slightly runny. Add in the golden syrup, salt and vanilla extract and mix well together until it is a smooth texture.
• Divide the mixture so there is one third of it in a separate bowl, it’s now time to make this mixture yellow by adding 2-3 teaspoons of colouring (depending on how yellow you want it!)
• Cover both bowls and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes, this is to cool the mixture down as it needs to be very cold to work with.
• First, take out the yellow mixture and take a ½ teaspoon of mixture out and roll it into a small ball, do this until all the mixture is used. Make sure to work quickly! Place the balls onto a tray lined with baking parchment and place back in the freezer.
• Now take out the white mixture and roll a tablespoon full into a ball, again do this until all the mixture is used. Try and make as many white balls as there are yellow balls!
• Take the yellow balls out of the freezer and press each one into the middle of a white ball until all are combined and place them back in the freezer. It’s a good idea at this point to make them look like an egg by rolling it quickly in your hands! If at any time the mixtures get too soft place them back in the freezer and start again when they have cooled.
• Melt the dark chocolate either in the microwave or the old-fashioned way on the hob.
• Take each ‘egg’ out of the freezer one at a time – pierce the end with a toothpick and gently roll the egg in the melted chocolate.
• Gently place each toothpick in something soft so it sits upright while the chocolate sets.
• Place all the eggs when complete in the fridge to let the eggs set for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the fridge and devour!!

• Next up, sift in the flour and cocoa powder together and gently fold it into the mixture.
• Poor it all into a greased baking tray and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
• Cut the crème eggs in half then remove from the brownies cake from oven and gently place the halves onto the brownies – evenly spaced.

• Finally, let the brownies completely cool in the tin before cutting into slices.

9. Cabury’s Crème Egg Brulee

Ingredients
4 ounces Mini Cadbury Crème Eggs (unwrapped…I know this seems obvious but I had a reader once not do it and complained I didn’t explain that), chopped up
1 cup heavy cream
3 egg yolks, at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp. vanilla extract

Image: sweetrecipeas.com
 

Method:

• In a medium bowl whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Using the old-fashioned glass bowl over boiling water on the hob melt the crème eggs until it’s a thick blob type consistency. You can put the mixture into a blender to get a better thinner consistency if you’d like.
• Put the cream in a saucepan and bring to the boil then back down to simmer, add a quarter of the cream to the egg yolk mixture at a time in order to not curdle the consistency.
• Now it is best to use a blender for this next part… Add the creamy egg mixture to the melted crème egg mixture. Turn the blender on low at first and then up to high, you want everything mixed in well.
• Pour into 3-4 ramekins leaving just a little room at the top. Place them into a big oven proof dish and fill the dish with hot water so the ramekins float in the dish.
• Bake at 150 degrees for 30 minutes depending again on the size of your ramekins.
• Remove from oven and from the dish filled with water and let sit for about 5 minutes.
• While they are still warm add the extra egg on top.
• Pop them in the fried for 4 hours to set.
• You can torch with brulee with sugar just before serving if you so wish.
