I am so wrapped up in Easter baking right now. OK, if you want to get a bit more specific, I'm so wrapped up in Easter candy right now. And I figure that instead of eating bags of it while on the couch at night, I should put the candy to good use and utilize it in some fun Easter dessert recipes.
OK, what that really means is that instead of sitting on the couch eating out of the bags of candy, I'm sitting on the couch eating these Easter desserts made out of candy.
This Cadbury Egg milkshake involves both kinds of Cadbury Eggs because I'm stuck right in the middle of the pack when you ask me if I prefer Cadbury Creme Eggs or Cadbury Mini Eggs.
Both Easter candies are absolutely delicious and make this milkshake a dream come true.
❤️ Why you'll love this recipe
Mini eggs are blended into vanilla ice cream, along with caramel and chocolate sauce. And the whole thing is topped with a Cadbury Creme Egg. How can you not love that?
It's easy to make and the perfect pre-Easter celebration. But it's also a great way to use up any leftover Easter candy you have laying around that you want to get rid of. After thoroughly enjoying.
🗒 Ingredients
The ingredients for this milkshake are pretty simple and easy to get during the Easter season.
Here's everything you need (be sure to view the recipe card at the bottom of this post for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions):
- Vanilla ice cream
- Milk of your choice: I used Silk Coconut Milk, but you can use the dairy or dairy alternative of your choice
- Cadbury Mini Eggs
- Caramel sauce: you can use store-bought or homemade caramel sauce
- Chocolate sauce: you can use store-bought or homemade chocolate sauce
- Cadbury Creme Eggs, optional
- Sprinkles: optional if desired
🥤 How to make a Cadbury Egg milkshake
You can either make your own caramel sauce (linking to my go-to recipe here) or buy a jarred caramel sauce.
You only need a little bit for these milkshakes, but I like to make a batch whenever I have the opportunity and keep the leftovers in my fridge.
I realize there's not actually caramel in a Cadbury Creme Egg, but how do you recreate the yellow yolk? I couldn't quite figure it out and felt like caramel made a nice touch.
Same goes for the chocolate sauce; either make your own or buy some. Again, I like to make a big batch (of this one) to keep in a mason jar in my fridge, but I almost always have a big bottle of Hershey's syrup in my fridge, too... For nostalgia's sake and all.
Other than those components, you simply need to blend the vanilla ice cream, milk, and Cadbury Mini Eggs in a blender. I used Silk Coconut Milk as my milk, but you can use any type of dairy or dairy alternative that you choose.
Blend it until smooth and pour the milkshakes into two glasses.
Then, stir in the caramel and chocolate sauce. And then obviously top the glasses with Cadbury Creme Eggs for garnish. Yes, for garnish. Shush.
This holiday happens once a year and I'll use Cadbury Creme Eggs for garnish if I want to. I also added sprinkles because why the heck not?
This Cadbury Egg milkshake is enough to make anyone fall in love with Cadbury Mini Eggs if they're not already. Actually I'm not really sure if that's a good or a bad thing. It could be argued either way. Sorry?
🎉 Variations on recipe
I love this Cadbury Egg milkshake as is, but there are so many fun things you can do to make it your own. Here are some ideas:
- Use the ice cream flavor of your choice. Chocolate would be delicious, as would cookie dough, chocolate chip, and coffee.
- Use chocolate milk or vanilla milk for extra flavor.
- Blend Cadbury Creme Eggs right into the milkshake instead of using caramel and chocolate sauce.
- Add coffee to make a Frappuccino-like milkshake (and an excuse to drink this for breakfast??).
- Top your milkshake with a Peeps garnish.
- Turn them into mini milkshakes that are perfect for serving at an Easter brunch buffet (you can use mini Cadbury Creme Eggs for garnish).
🐰 More Cadbury Egg recipes
I love baking and creating with Cadbury Eggs and have lots of recipes featuring Cadbury Mini Eggs on my blog. Here are some of my favorites:
I'm also desperately craving this White Chocolate Mini Egg Cheesecake.
Cadbury Eggs are much less controversial than Peeps and at least the mini ones are generally well-loved. But give Creme Eggs a chance, too!
Isn't it kind of strange that Cadbury Chocolate hasn't gained tons of popularity in the U.S., but when it comes to Easter candy, it's the gold standard?
If the Easter Bunny left milkshakes, he'd totally be leaving this Cadbury Egg Milkshake. And, I mean, why shouldn't he? A basket full of milkshakes? Make it happen, Bunny.
Have you had your fill of Easter candy yet? And furthermore, would you choose Cadbury Mini Eggs or Cadbury Creme Eggs if you could only have one?

I've been going easy on the Cadbury eggs this year. They are my kryptonite, and if I don't keep a lid on it things get out of hand really fast. I plan to indulge heavily on Easter Sunday though.

Nicolle says
What the WHAT?!? The other day I was looking through my candy cupboard (it contains MANY other things besides candy so don't judge me, lol) and I found a bag of unopened mini Cadbury eggs I'd bought the day after Easter, in addition to 6 Cadbury cream eggs, so guess what I'll be making tonight for my naughty weekend splurge! Thanks for this evilly delicious recipe! My hips just widened while typing this comment! 😉
Sandra Shaffer says
I look forward to the Easter candy this time of year, especially the Cadbury eggs! This milkshake looks creamy and delicious. Just what my sweet tooth is craving.
Claire | Sprinkles and Sprouts says
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
This is like an Easter explosion. I am not showing this to my kids as I am certain, whilst easter eggs are in the shops, they would want one everyday!!!
I have sat here fro 10 minutes trying to decide whether I am a creme egg fan or a mini egg fan.
Before we left the UK I would probably have said mini eggs, but here in australia Cadbury chocolate isn't the same (I think they have to change the recipe for the heat) so mini eggs aren't quite as good. Now I am definitely in the creme egg camp.
Do you get mini creme eggs in the states????? Now they are dangerous!!! Best of both worlds, mini so you can eat a few, but filled with that unmistakable creme filling. YUM!!!
I am going to pin this recipe, I am thinking it would be a great treat for Easter Sunday 😀
Lisa Bynum says
Oh my gah ... Cadbury Creme Eggs are my all tim favorite candy. This looks like such an indulgence!!
Celia (Chicago Jogger) says
Oh my goodness I LOVE mini Cadbury creme eggs. So dangerous for me. That's why I haven't bought any yet!
Sues says
@Claire- I LOVE how much you're debating it 🙂 And so interesting that Mini Eggs aren't the same! We actually DO get mini creme eggs here, but I haven't seen them at all this year.I'm going on the hunt tomorrow and yes, it's going to be so dangerous if I find them!!
Bethany says
Such a pretty and delicious looking shake!
Michelle Barsness says
Vanilla, caramel, chocolate...everything about this wonderful Cadbury creme egg milkshake sounds divine! Perfect treat for Easter.
