It’s EASTER!!! That means that Cream Eggs are available in abundance. But why just eat them when you could bake them into cupcakes for the ultimate Easter egg-hunt? AND make the cupcakes look like EGGS? Eggscellent…eggsciting…eggsemplary…eggcetera.
For the cupcakes –
6 Cadburys Creme Eggs (filling scooped out into a bowl and set aside and the shells chopped)
280g plain flour
65g cocoa powder
380g caster sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp of salt
3 large free range eggs
1 cup cooled coffee (not hot!)
1 cup buttermilk
210ml vegetable oil
24 mini Cadbury’s Creme Eggs frozen!
For the Marshmallowy Meringue Icing –
2 egg white
175g caster sugar
115g Golden Syrup/corn syrup
2 tbsp water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

What's creme of tartar?
Next time I make the 6 and a half hour trek down to London, I am going to have to stop by the shop, it's a no brainer.
GREAT, great video, ….BUT!…… remember that time intensive step of chopping up the chocolate egg shells that was really worth it?……..what was that for again? 🙂 Thanks for this super cute video!!!
I just made these and they are delish!!!! And they were fun to make!
I made these this Easter and they were a big hit! What a fun and delicious recipe! Thank-you Jemma!
Where do you get your vanilla
OMG….cupcakegasm!!!!!
Does anyone know if you can freeze the precooked mixture.
How much is 1 cup of coffe in ml?
Found the ding for the ingredients annoying and unnecessary.
Do I have to use buttermilk ? I do not care for buttermilk
What do you do with the leftover creme egg shells from the start?!
Jemma I just love your quirkiness 😊. X
Love when you pepper your instruction with a Geordie accent 😃
Cool
Looks so yummy, Thank you for sharing!!!
Nasty
Sally!!
No Cadbury's here in NL… so no creme eggs either. Must remember to purchase some when I'm in the UK again. So, hopefully soon!
I’m only now watching the video which is great by the way.
I’m a little confused with the chopped up shells. Are they for another recipe or just eat them.
Back when they sold cream eggs in packs of 6, bloody shrinkflation 🤦🏻♂️
Just made these, can anyone tell me who has made these does their eggs sink , so when you bite in to them it is just a blob of chocolate ? Thanks!
😅😅😅😅😅
Can’t wait to try these. One question what happened to the chopped chocolate from the cream eggs?
I make these every year. A huge hit!
hahaha, i cant stop laughing 😂, “im not threatening you with my knife im just saying.”
