Homemade Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Cream Recipe

Here’s our recipe and method for making Homemade Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Cream:

Ingredients:

• 300ml double cream
• 300ml whole milk
• 150g Cadbury Creme Eggs (about 4-5 eggs), chopped into small pieces
• 100g caster sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: additional chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs for topping

Method:

• In a saucepan, heat the double cream and whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale and creamy.
• Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to let it boil.
• Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
• Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
• Add the chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs to the ice cream during the last few minutes of churning, allowing them to mix evenly throughout.
• Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 4 hours or until firm.
• Serve the Homemade Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Cream scooped into bowls or cones, topped with additional chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs if desired.

NB: If you don’t own an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe, you simply pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals, repeating this process for about 3-4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.

Here’s a recipe and method for making homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs with chocolate shells, fondant filling, and gooey yellow centre:

Ingredients:

• 300g good quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
• 200g icing sugar
• 100g condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: yellow food colouring

Method:

• Prepare the chocolate shell moulds by lightly greasing them with vegetable oil and wiping away any excess.
• In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate until smooth.
• Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each mould cavity, using a spoon or pastry brush to evenly coat the sides. Ensure that there is enough space to add the fondant and gooey centre.
• Place the moulds in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
• Meanwhile, prepare the fondant filling by combining icing sugar, condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Mix until a smooth, thick paste forms.
• Once the chocolate shells have set, spoon a small amount of fondant filling into each cavity, leaving room at the top for the gooey centre.
• In a separate bowl, prepare the gooey yellow centre by mixing icing sugar, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Add yellow food colouring to achieve the desired yellow egg yolk colouring and mix until smooth.
• Spoon a small amount of gooey yellow centre on top of the fondant filling in each chocolate shell, ensuring it doesn’t overflow.
• Carefully spoon or pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filled cavities to seal the eggs.
• Return the moulds to the refrigerator or freezer to allow the chocolate to set completely.
