What are Cadbury Eggs?
Cadbury Creme Eggs are decadent chocolate egg-shaped treats, filled with creamy fondant-like filling that visually replicates the inside of an egg. These popular chocolate-coated eggs are a very special treat that we look forward to every spring.
When we had a few extra chocolate eggs on hand, we had to try air-frying them! We were not disappointed! You will love this recipe because you get the deliciousness of a Cadbury egg, wrapped in a flaky and buttery outer layer of a crescent roll.
Ingredients
To make these fried eggs, ingredients you will need:
- Cadbury Creme Eggs- or other Chocolate Creme Eggs
- Crescents Biscuits- like Pillsbury
Because the biscuits have eight in each can, I grabbed enough Cadbury eggs to use the entire can. If you only want to make four, you can air fry the remaining pieces into crescent rolls.
How to make Fried Cadbury Eggs
-
To make these fried Cadbury eggs, begin by unwrapping each egg from their foil wrapper.
-
Open the crescent rolls and separate dough into the pre-cut triangles. Wrap one egg in each piece of pastry, making sure to completely cover the egg. Pinch the dough to cover any exposed chocolate.
-
To prepare the air fryer basket, lightly spray or line with parchment paper, to prevent sticking. Place each wrapped egg in the air fryer basket. If making multiple eggs, keep them in a single layer.
-
Air Fry at 350° Fahrenheit for 6 minutes, until they are golden brown.
-
Serve warm, or you can allow the eggs to cool so the liquid crème filling can become less gooey.
FAQs
You can serve these classic holiday candy eggs with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. You can also use your favorite sauce, like hot fudge or caramel sauce. Melting chocolates that are pink, blue, or other pastel colors, and drizzling on top of each egg, is a fun way to add spring colors to the finished crust. Or, to keep it easy, you can serve plain or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar before serving.
If you have a can of crescent rolls, and need more quick dessert recipes, you will love making Air Fried Oreos, Tagalongs, and Thin Mints!
These eggs are the BEST when they first come out of the air fryer and are nice and warm. Because they only take 6 minutes to make, you can make 4 at a time and wrap and chill remaining dough until you are ready to make more. Store uncooked dough for no longer than a few days. If you have leftover fried Cadbury eggs, keep them covered, and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
