I'm so close to vacation, I can taste it. I'm pretty sure it's the piña coladas I can taste. But it might be some salt water. And probably a little sand, too. But I don't even hate it.

But in the meantime, despite the fact that I'll be putting a bathing suit on in a week, I'm ALL about eating Easter candy.

Easter comes but once a year and you need to take advantage of the seasonal candy while you can. Which is exactly why I made this Cadbury Egg pie.

❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

If you love Cadbury Eggs, you will most certainly love this pie! It has both Cadbury Creme Eggs AND Cadbury Mini Eggs in it and is packed with lots of chocolate, caramel, and whipped cream.

Since it's a "cream" pie, it's also really easy to make! It's perfect for serving at Easter brunch or after dinner. Or in any of the days leading up to Easter. Or in any days after when you're looking for what to do with all that leftover candy.

🗒 Ingredients

There are a few different components to this Cadbury pie, including the crust, the filling, and the caramel whipped cream topping. You can either make your own caramel sauce with the recipe provided or you can use a store-bought caramel.

🥧 How to make Cadbury Cream Egg chocolate cream pie

While there are quite a few different parts to this recipe, all are pretty easy to put together... And shortcuts can definitely be taken if you choose.

First up, you need to make the pie's crust! The crust of the Cadbury Egg pie is made with crushed chocolate wafer cookies and Cadbury Mini Eggs. Did somebody say heaven??

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the chocolate wafer cookies in a food processor and blend until chocolate crumbs are formed.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together chocolate wafer cookie crumbs, crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, melted butter, and salt.

Pour cookie crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and press down along bottom and sides of dish.

Bake pie crust for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Now you're ready to make that delicious filling.

It's a sort of typical chocolate cream pie filling, but with Cadbury Cream Eggs acting as the chocolate.

Heat milk and 2 tablespoon sugar in a medium saucepan, until just about to boil (bubbles will be forming at the edges of the saucepan).

In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

Slowly whisk hot milk mixture into egg yolk mixture and then pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan.

Place over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture gets very thick and custardy, about 3 minutes.

Make sure those Cadbury Creme Eggs are nice and chopped... And try to resist eating too many of them!

Remove saucepan from heat and stir in chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs. Whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.

Pour chocolate mixture into prepared chocolate pie crust.

Once the crust and chocolate filling are complete, the pie needs to chill for a few hours. Smooth top of it with a spatula and cover it with plastic wrap, so plastic wrap is touching the top of the pie filling.

I took that time while it was chilling to whip up an incredible caramel whipped cream.

Again, I made my own caramel sauce (you can get the recipe in the recipe card at the bottom of this post), but store-bought would totally be fine. Just don't skip the caramel because omg yum.

To make the whipped cream, just whip the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Then beat in caramel sauce.

And when the pie is cooled, top it with caramel whipped cream. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on the top of the pie, if desired. And top with more Cadbury Mini Eggs. Obviously.

If you only eat one Cadbury Egg and 1 (bag) of Cadbury Mini Eggs this year, please let them be in this Cadbury Creme Egg pie.

But who are you kidding...  You're going to eat way more than that this year. Please tell me I'm not just speaking for myself!

I momentarily considered adding Peeps into this pie somehow, but I held myself back. In case you haven't noticed, I have a bit of a tendency to go a little overboard... Especially when it comes to sugar.

And marshmallows. And marshmallows covered in sugar (see... THAT is why I don't understand how people don't like Peeps??).

And this Cadbury Egg pie was already the perfect amount of overboard. Two kinds of Cadbury Eggs, chocolate crust, whipped cream, and lots of caramel.

⏲️ How to store

Store any Cadbury Egg pie leftovers covered and in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. I like to store my pie in a cake carrier so it's in an airtight container, but you can also simply cover it loosely with plastic wrap.

If you're planning to make the pie ahead of time, I recommend storing it in the fridge with the crust and custard filling and adding the whipped cream, caramel, and Mini Eggs just before serving.

These Easter Nest Sugar Cookies are also so cute!

If the Easter Bunny were like Santa and you were supposed to leave him treats, I'd totally recommend making him a Cadbury Egg pie. Similarly, if there was a Pi Day mascot who came to visit you at night and liked treats, this would be perfect.

Are you a Cadbury Egg fan? Which type do you prefer?
