Cadbury

Thirsty Thursday: Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes

Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes

Like O.M.G.

My favorite parts about Easter are all the rabbit themed goodies I see around and Cadbury Creme Eggs. The best thing ever is catching the classic Cadbury Bunny Tryouts commercial. I love it so much. Plus I’m still ease-dropping on my rabbits waiting to hear them cluck like a chicken. No success yet 🙂

So I took my love of my Cadbury Creme Eggs and went a little crazy this year and whipped up some cavity inducing recipes. First things first is the shake!

I was inspired by the Cadbury Shake in The Good Stuff Cookbook by Spike Mendelsohn. I thought it was all so much fun to make a Cadbury Creme Egg shake. I prefer a thinner constancy shake so I added some milk to the ice cream before blending. Adjust the amount of milk and butterscotch or chocolate sauce depending on preference.

Enjoy your own or pour the shake into a big glass and share with someone who loves Cadbury Creme Eggs as much as you!

  1. Halve the Cadbury Creme Egg by cutting lengthwise, set aside.
  2. Drizzle some butterscotch sauce and chocolate sauce onto the sides of the glasses. 
  3. In a bender, combine the ice cream, milk, and the butterscotch and chocolate sauces. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour the blended shake into the prepared glasses and top with whipped cream. Place a half of the Cadbury Creme Egg into the whipped cream and then drizzle some more of the sauces on top for good measure.

Easter Brownies- Mini Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies

These brownies make for a fantastic Easter treat. The brownie is individually sized so it makes for a great to go treat. The kind of goodie that is easily wrapped and slipped into an Easter basket. Or if you are ‘too old’ for a basket, you can just enjoy them because you are an adult and should have nice things.

 

I really truly love Cadbury Creme Eggs. I love that they are around for such a short period of time. It makes them even more desirable. I stick to the classic creme eggs, just can’t get me to touch their caramel egg. I don’t get the point. It’s like a caramel milky way… oh don’t you mean a caramel filled chocolate bar that is no way similar to a milky way?!? I think that classics should stay classics. So that is why I indulge myself with the creme eggs for this short period of time.

 

The brownies are best eaten right away because it will allow you to bite into the ooey gooey creme egg. The brownie is rich and dense, so the egg will not sink to the bottom. The egg remains intact and is perfect to cut in half. It just looks so sweet.

 

Typically, you test the readiness of a baked good by inserting a tooth pick and if it’s clean upon removal the cake it done. However, you can’t insert a tooth pick into the center of this treat because it would provide an inaccurate picture of it’s doneness because you would be testing the melty egg, and not the brownie. The brownies are so small that gently touching the top will be a good enough indicator.
