What’s in the middle of a Cadbury creme egg?

You’ve probably seen or eaten the delicious Cadbury Creme Eggs that pop up around Easter time. They’re a quite popular British chocolate that many love!

It’s a milk chocolate egg filled with a white and yellow sugar paste that resembles that of a broken egg when you bite into it. Unfortunately, Cadbury creme eggs are not vegan. According to the Cadbury Chocolate website, here are the ingredients:

Sugar, MILK, glucose syrup, cocoa butter, invert sugar syrup, dried whey (from MILK), cocoa mass, vegetable fats (palm, shea), emulsifier (E442), dried EGG white, flavourings, colour (paprika extract).

Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs Ingredients:

Well, we first had to address the chocolate outer shell, which is a fairly easy part. You’ll need to use vegan chocolate chips, which I note a few brands that I recommend.

Then we needed to address the creamy filling, as I mentioned above. The filling is actually a lot easier to make than one would think.

Here’s what you need:

• Vegan Chocolate: I recommend Pascha Chocolate, Enjoy Life chocolate chips, or Hu Kitchen. Low sugar recommendations are in the following sections.
• Vegan butter: Miyoko’s Creamery vegan butter is my absolute favorite here. You could also use Flora Plant Butter or Earth Balance sticks. Alternatively, you can use coconut oil for a single ingredient option (though you will taste the coconut).
• Maple syrup or sweetened condensed coconut milk: Either work for this! This will help thicken and make a gooey filling.
• Powder sugar: In order to have a completely vegan Cadbury Creme Egg, I recommend using Florida Crystals Powdered Sugar, as they are vegan and minimally processed.
• Vanilla extract: For flavor.
• Turmeric powder: To create the yolk tint.
• A silicone egg mold (technically not an ingredient, but very recommended!)

Overview: how to make vegan Cadbury Creme eggs:

For the full written instructions and ingredient measurements, see the bottom of this post in the recipe card. You can also hit the “jump to recipe” button at the top of this post! Here, we’ll go over a brief overview of the steps, along with providing visuals for a better understanding of the recipe.

To begin:

1. Melt the chocolate and pour the chocolate into your egg fillings. Set into the freezer for just 5 minutes so that you can easily scoop out the filling of the egg. Save the scooped out eggs for the chocolate coating.
2. In a bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the vegan butter and coconut condensed milk or maple syrup. Then add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix again. Divide the mixture by separating about 1/4 of the cream mixture into a smaller bowl.
3. Add in the turmeric powder to the smaller bowl, and mix it until it’s completely combined.
4. Fill two piping bags: one with the white paste, and the other with the yellow paste.
5. Pipe the white paste into the egg shells only to half way into the egg. Then switch to the “yolk” paste, and pipe a small circle into the middle of the egg. Then pipe the remaining white paste on top and in the crevices to cover the yolk entirely.
6. Melt the remaining chocolate, and pour on top of the eggs then set them in the freezer for a few minutes.
7. Remove and serve!

Low Sugar and Keto Options:

Here are some lower sugar or keto options for your homemade vegan Cadbury eggs:

• Use 100% chocolate chips from Pascha Chocolate. These are no sugar added. Very rich, but very good. They also have a stevia sweetened chocolate chip as well.
• Use a granulated Keto-approved sweetener, such as stevia, for the maple sugar.
• Use a Monkfruit syrup, such as one by Lakanto, or you can entirely replace the syrup with the same amount of vegan butter or coconut cream.
