How To Make Air Fried Cadbury Creme Egg

Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below

Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C.
Unwrap Cadbury Creme eggs and place on a triangle of the dough and roll it around in your hand and cover the egg in dough. You don’t want the dough to be thick.
Just rip off the excess dough.
Spray the basket and place the eggs in the air fryer basket and air fry for 4-5 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
Serve immediately.

Remember that air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking food for doneness then adding more time as needed.

Recipe Tips

Eat right away when that gooey chocolate egg is all melty inside.
Make sure the dough is not too thick, otherwise it will not cook through. If you are unsure, test one and if too doughy cook for another minute or two.
Leftover dough can be shaped and air fried later.

Delicious Variations

Feel free to use biscuit dough or pizza dough – just make sure the dough is not too thick so that it is not under cooked. If thicker, cook for a little bit longer after the dough has turned golden brown.
Use different candy – you can do the same with other candy like Reese peanut Butter Cups.
Top with Sugar – dust on some sugar to finish these delectable pastries.

Storage

Store – These are so quick and easy to make and are best served immediately. However, feel free to store the cooled air fried creme eggs in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
