Cadbury Creme Egg Chocolate Cream Pie

It wouldn't be Easter if you didn't indulge in a Cadbury Creme Egg or Cadbury Mini Eggs. You can enjoy both (plus a whole other lot of yumminess!) in this Cadbury Creme Egg Chocolate Cream Pie.

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.

Because a week on the beach with a stack of books and food magazines and a drink (or 20) in my hand is all that matters. The whole no work thing doesn't hurt either.

But seriously, please tell me I'm not the only one who Googles phrases like, "how to stop anxiety about leaving dog while on vacation." As excited as I am for our little getaway, I'm a huge gigantic wreck over leaving our little pup. And have been stocking up on way too many treats and toys that her sitter can give her while we're gone.

I'm terrified that she'll think we abandoned her and will get seriously depressed and then hate us when we get home. I know... I've become a crazy person who considers my dog's feelings before my own.

But the show must go on. And short of smuggling my dog onto the beach, I need to take a deep breath and let it go.

And probably eat a giant slice of pie... Because what better way to prepare for putting on a bikini?? But really, Easter is coming up and I can never ever let Easter pass by without a Cadbury Egg or Peeps recipe.

Cadbury Cream Egg Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe

You're in luck because this year, it's Cadbury's turn (I realize some people don't appreciate Peeps in the same way I do); And I'm going for a double whammy with both Cadbury Creme Eggs and Cadbury Mini Eggs in this recipe.

Even better is that I made a glorious pie with the Cadbury Easter treats... On Pi Day! Coincidence or careful planning? You decide. Or just simply enjoy this Cadbury Egg Pie. Cadbury Creme Egg Chocolate Cream Pie to be exact.

The crust of the Cadbury Egg pie is made with crushed chocolate wafer cookies and Cadbury Mini Eggs. Did somebody say heaven??

And the filling is a sort of typical chocolate cream pie filling, but with Cadbury Cream Eggs acting as the chocolate. I mean, you can't beat that!

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.

Once the crust and chocolate filling are complete, the pie needs to chill for a few hours. I took that time to whip up an incredible caramel whipped cream.

Again, I made my own caramel sauce, but store-bought would totally be fine. Just don't skip the caramel because omg yum.

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.

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.

On that note, why isn't there a Pi Day mascot? Because that would be totally creepy, I guess. Just answered my own question.

Math was never my greatest subject, but I can get behind a holiday that combines math with food. I probably would have enjoyed math a lot more if it related back to food in school.

Or perhaps I'd prefer just sitting here and stuffing my face with this pie on Pi Day, basking in the knowledge that I never have to take a math test again. And that I'm married to someone who is smart in math.

If I eat three slices of this Cadbury Egg pie tonight, I'll still be OK when I have to put a bathing suit on next week, right?? Right?

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