What shall I do with 5 Creme Eggs?

Other than eat them or bin them!

I made Creme Egg Slow-Cooker Chocolate Cake, which was very good.

What else can I make with them?

I would donate them to a food bank because I really dislike them.

Luckystar1 · 09/05/2022 16:47

Can you post a link to the recipe for the cake please?

(sorry no help on the other!)

It's better than binning them. I don't want to throw away foodstuff if someone else could have it. I don't know anyone who likes them.

The op clearly does because she’s asking what to make with them.

Iamnotokifyouarenotok · 09/05/2022 17:01

Donate them to your local food bank.

CuriousCatfish · 09/05/2022 17:02

I'd just eat them.

FabulousKilljoys · 09/05/2022 17:03

Well I'd have eaten them by now! But seeing as you haven't, how about creme egg brownies? I made them at Easter and they lasted about a minute 😂

Cheesecake

Mmmm! How would you do that? In the base or in the cheese?

I lurve a baked cheesecake!

Chop up and add to ice cream, vanilla, coffee or raspberry would be a good combination, you could add some crushed meringue if you have some to use up.

Melt and make a chocolate sauce for banana split or poached pears.

Chop and add to a plain biscuit mix.

Use chopped in Rocky Road.

Whatever you decide to make, you will be doing a lot of chopping!! Wink Wink

(sorry no help on the other!)

Here you go:

100g soft butter
125g golden caster sugar
2 medium eggs
120g self-raising flour
30gcocoa powder
80ml buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 tsp instant coffee granules
1 tsp vanilla
Creme Eggs

Find a cake tin that will fit into your slow-cooker and line it. (I used a 7” silicone ‘tin’. If the tin presses against the side of the slow-cooker, insulate that spot with several layers of baking parchment.)

Cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy.

Mix the eggs, buttermilk or yogurt and vanilla in a jug.

In a separate small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder and coffee granules.

Beat about 1/4 of the liquid ingredients in to the creamed butter, then add a good spoonful of the dry ingredients. Repeat until all the liquid ingredients are used up, then as the rest of the dry ingredients and mix in gently.

Spoon the cake mixture into the cake tin. Press the Creme Eggs into the cake mixture.

Place a tea towel under the lid (this prevents moisture from dripping onto the cake) and cook on high for approx 1.5 hours or until a skewer comes out clean.

Once done, remove the cake tin from the slow cooker. Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving it as a hot pudding.

Creme eggs aren't 'food'. There's no nutritional value in them. Have you checked the ingredients? Chuck them away. Save others from the horrors marketing wankers dream up. Job done.

FabulousKilljoys · 09/05/2022 17:30

Creme eggs are food of the gods.

Melt them down into to a sauce and serve over sliced bananas.

This is fabulously joyless approach to food! Food is fuel. Its also fun for most people who aren't purely utilitarian in their approach.

Now, get yourself over to the Style & Beauty section and find a handbag thread so you can tell everyone on there that a sainburys bag for life would carry their things just as well and those who buy designer bags are foolish. Im sure there's going to be a few on the holiday threads who are planning on wasting money and time sitting on a beach for a week, when they could spend the week learning about another culture , otherwise it doesn't count as travel...

Some things can be nice and fun and enjoyable - not just improving.

MargosKaftan · 09/05/2022 17:45

OP - just eat them. Ideally not in one sitting or you'll be sick.

Or you could break them up and add to ice cream. Or the cheesecake idea sounds lush.

On a background of a generally healthy diet, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of junk.

TidyDancer · 09/05/2022 17:49

TikTok seems to love wrapping them in pastry and putting them in the air fryer (if you have one). Never tried it but they do look delicious.

Bittercup · 09/05/2022 17:50

Not what you asked but there's a Creme Egg cookbook available for £2 on Amazon right now if you're stuck for inspiration Smile

Phew.

I was worried that website re-jig meant the eternally po-faced might have been accidentally unplugged.

Glad to see it isn't so.

Whisk up with milk for a Cream Egg milkshake... or even better add your favourite alcohol for a Cream Egg cocktail 🙂
