We all know I love an Easter recipe, there is no denying that. If something can be made with either Mini Eggs or Creme Eggs, I have most certainly given it a whirl. Because… Easter, a holiday celebrated with chocolate? What’s not to love?! My latest creation is this quick Mini Egg Fudge recipe. It’s a variation on my super simple 2 minute microwave fudge, and it is the perfect Easter gift.
Why you’ll love this Mini Egg Fudge recipe
⭐️ Ridiculously quick and easy to make ⭐️ Perfect as a gift or Easter treat ⭐️ Fun to make with kids I discovered that we only need the microwave for all the heating we need and don’t need to involve any kind of baking or extra faffy steps. It’s just so simple. This is not technically real fudge (where you boil sugar, condensed milk and butter). It’s a shortcut version, but honestly? I think it is every bit as good.. If not, dare I say it, better. The chocolate sets the fudge and the condensed milk adds the sweetness and texture. The world is your oyster with all the different flavours of fudge on offer, and I love to make things like this at the end of the school term to give to teachers, classmates or friends instead of an Easter egg.
Mini Egg Fudge Ingredients
QUICK TIP: Crush the Cadbury’s Mini Eggs using the bottom of the tin of condensed milk to WHACK them!
Substitutions
Chocolate – I used white chocolate in the fudge this time to give a sweet creamy flavour. You can also use milk or dark chocolate if you prefer, or half and half works really well too Other flavours – This recipe is great as a basis for other flavours of fudge – you could remove the mini eggs or add extra flavourings if you’d like
It should stay fresh for around 2 weeks. It will go really quite firm, so just let it soften a little before eating. You can also freeze your Mini Egg Fudge Wrap your fudge in baking paper and then foil before freezing. You can keep it like this for 2-3 months. Use a fairly small dish to get a nice, deep fudge. (I like this Masterclass 23cm tin.) I pack the pieces of Mini Egg Fudge, fresh from the fridge, into little bags like these cellophane bags. It adds a special something to make them feel like a real gift. You can also make this Mini Egg fudge in your slow cooker or crock pot. The timing will depend on your particular slow cooker, but as soon as it is thick and silky smooth looking, it’s ready. If your fudge looks like it’s a bit lumpy or splitting, you can resolve this by giving it a really good beating with a wooden spoon. It should soon come together again. If the slab is too hard to cut straight out of the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Be careful when cutting it may be very hard!
