Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies Ingredients & Tested Substitutions

• All Purpose Flour. If you are gluten free, this Gluten Free 1:1 Flour is the perfect substitute for all purpose flour. You do not need to change any measurements, it will sub in perfectly.
• Cocoa Powder. I prefer to use unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder in my brownie recipes.
• Espresso Powder. Using espresso powder, which is made from espresso grounds, enhances the rich chocolate flavors in any chocolate recipe.
• Egg. Be sure to use room temperature eggs so they blend into the brownie batter better. If you forgot to take your eggs out of the fridge ahead of time, I have a pro tip for you! Place the egg in a bowl of warm water for 3-5 minutes before using.
• Grass-fed Unsalted Butter. I prefer to use unsalted butter when baking as I don’t want an overly salty brownie, but you’re welcome to use salted butter if your tastebuds prefer. You an also use vegan butter for dairy free brownies.
• Vanilla Extract. Use a high quality vanilla extract for best results.
• Chocolate Chips. I like using semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or chocolate chunks rather than bittersweet chocolate.
• Sugar. Traditional white cane sugar can be used or you may also use granulated monkfruit instead if you’re looking to reduce the amount of refined sugar in your diet.
• Brown Sugar. You can use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar. Alternatively, if you prefer you can also use coconut sugar as a 1:1 replacement. All 3 will work.
• Salt. Don’t skip the salt as, just like ground espresso, salt enhances the chocolatey flavors of brownies. Opt for kosher salt.
• Cadbury Eggs. This recipe calls for both the mini Cadbury creme egg candy and the mini Cadbury chocolate eggs.

Expert Tips

• Be sure to ever so slightly under bake the brownies. Insert a toothpick or cake tester and when it comes out just about clean, they're done! Because these brownies are SO thick, I like to allow them to chill in the fridge for an hour or two before serving. This allows the chocolate to set while maintaining an extra fudgy texture.
• For best results when slicing, warm your knife under hot water in between cuts.
• Take things to the next level and add in some white chocolate chips if you enjoy extra sweet treats.
• Top them with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce for an extra decadent Easter brownie a la mode.

Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies Step By Step Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven and prepare the brownie pan. Pre-heat your oven to 350F. Grease an 8×8 metal pan with cooking spray and then line it with parchment paper. I like to cut a sheet of parchment in half and line the pan as shown below.

2. Mix dry ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sifted flour, sifted cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt. Mix together with a fork or whisk to fully incorporate.

3. Heat butter & chocolate chips. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter + chocolate chips stirring gently with a silicone spatula. As the butter starts melting, turn the heat to low and continue to stir until the chocolate is melted, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Be sure not to let the mixture boil or burn.

4. Beat in vanilla, sugars & eggs. In the same large bowl you just added the butter and chocolate mixture, add the vanilla extract, then the monk fruit sugar and the coconut sugar, whisking to combine. Then add each egg one by one, whisking lightly between each egg then whisking one last time a bit more vigorously once all eggs have been added to fully incorporate, about 30 more seconds.

5. Mix the batter. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients, folding in gently using a silicone spatula until all dry ingredients are fully combined and no clumps or traces of flour remain. Add in the candy coated mini eggs and fold into the brownie batter. Pour batter into a pan, using a spatula to spread the batter evenly throughout. Gently press 6-10 mini creme eggs down into the batter.

6. Bake & chill. Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out of the center clean and there is no wobble in the batter if you jiggle the pan. Allow brownies to cool at room temperature, then chill for at least 2 hours before slicing. Chilling the brownies helps them set and the texture becomes extra fudgy.

Cadbury Creme Egg Brownie FAQs

Are Cadbury Creme Eggs gluten free?

There are no gluten-containing ingredients in Cadbury Creme Eggs or Cadbury Mini Eggs, according to Cadbury USA. Always be sure to check ingredient labels to ensure nothing has changed in the way they are manufactured. If you need more information, I find this to be a really helpful in-depth article.

How do you make brownies extra fudgy?

The key to making the fudgiest brownies possible is in the eggs. The more eggs you use, the more you will achieve cakey, chewy brownies. I typically use 2-3 eggs for fudgy brownies. You can also use egg yolks; two yolks is equal to one whole egg and will really kick the fudginess up.

Can I make this recipe with boxed brownie mix?

You can! Choose your favorite boxed brownie mix and simply add in the Cadbury eggs before baking. If you want more tips on how to make boxed brownies taste like gourmet homemade brownies, check out this post.

What if my eggs aren't room temperature?

Using room temperature eggs is preferable because they incorporate more smoothly into the batter. If you forgot to take your eggs out of the fridge ahead of time, one of my favorite ways to hack this is to simply fill a bowl with warm water & add the eggs to the bowl. You will have room temperature eggs in less than 10 minutes.

Why should you chill brownies?

One of my favorite ways to make brownies easier to slice is to chill them after baking. You can either let them come to room temperature before chilling or place them immediately in the fridge for a cleaner slice. You can chill anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight. If chilling overnight, allow the brownies to come to room temp before slicing as the chocolate will have solidified in the fridge and they will be difficult to cut.

How to store Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies

You can store the brownies at room temp in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can freeze your brownies if you don’t want to be tempted to eat them all at once! Make sure to wrap the brownies in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store in an airtight container or freezer bag. They will keep up to one month.
