Only two days to go until Easter Sunday and chocolate is already being passed around here at Savoo (clearly none of us have any self-control!) If you are getting ready for a weekend of Easter egg gorging, then here are five recipes to get your taste buds tingling- all made with the glorious creation that is Cadbury’s Creme Eggs.
These creme egg brownies were bought into the office a week ago and lasted approximately five minutes before they were scoffed by the Savoo staff. Dangerously moreish and rich enough to set your productivity levels back by an entire afternoon, they should come with a health risk- don’t say we didn’t warn you! Thanks to Woman’s Own for the recipe.
If you thought the creme egg brownies were indulgent, wait until you get a load of this creme egg milkshake. Courtesy of chocolatemoosey.com, the recipe makes one tall milkshake or two small milkshakes. But filled with enough sugar, ice cream and cream to possibly exceed your daily calorie intake, it is not for the fainted hearted. Note: UK readers, replace corn syrup with golden syrup.
Dubbed the ‘world’s most calorific cocktail’ by msn.co.uk, the creme egg mojito is the brainchild of Jack Williams, a mixologist for bar owners Late Night London. Designed specifically for the Jewel Bar in Piccadilly Circus, we have managed to get our hands on the recipe for you to try at home if you can’t make it into London for a professionally prepared one.
If you don’t have the time or inclination to spend hours in the kitchen but don’t want to miss out on creme egg goodness, try this recipe from bunisinmyoven.com. Completely fool proof, it doesn’t even require you to do any measuring or mixing; just pop in the oven and away you go.
Technically this fudge doesn’t actually contain any Cadbury eggs at all, but it looks and tastes so convincing you would be forgiven for mistaking it for the real thing. Replace corn syrup with golden syrup if you cannot find it in the shops, and you are ready to go! To get perfectly regular pieces, cut the chocolate into bite size pieces before they completely harden in the fridge. Thanks to shugarysweets.com for the recipe.
