Ingredients

  • Powdered SugarThis fine sugar is the backbone of our creamy filling, providing both sweetness and structure without a grainy texture.
  • Unsalted ButterSoftened to room temperature, butter adds richness and helps create that smooth, pliable consistency in the filling.
  • Light Corn SyrupA crucial ingredient for achieving the iconic gooey, slightly runny texture in the center of your Copycat Cadbury Eggs.
  • Vanilla PowderEssential for a warm, comforting aroma and flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the sugar.
  • SaltA tiny pinch balances the sweetness, enhancing all the other flavors in the filling.
  • Food Coloring GelsUse yellow and orange food coloring gels to mimic the vibrant, distinct colors of the classic Cadbury Egg yolk and white sections.
  • Chocolate Chips or Melting WafersHigh-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips will provide a superior flavor and a smooth, snappy shell.
  • Vegetable Shortening or Coconut OilA small amount helps thin the melted chocolate, making it easier to dip and ensuring a shiny, smooth finish.

Notes

  • Keep your Copycat Cadbury Eggs fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, allowing them to sit out for 15-20 minutes before serving for the ideal gooey center and chocolate snap.
  • The light corn syrup is your secret weapon for that perfectly gooey, slightly runny center; don't skip it to achieve the authentic Cadbury experience!
  • For a professional, shiny chocolate coating, make sure to incorporate the vegetable shortening or coconut oil into your melted chocolate; it helps thin it for a smooth, even dip.
  • When shaping, make sure to create a clearly defined yellow 'yolk' within the white filling; it makes for a delightful and authentic surprise when your lucky recipient bites in!
