Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust
- 4 Cadbury Crème Eggs, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust, 4 Cadbury Crème Eggs (chopped), 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup chocolate ganache.
- In a mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the heavy cream while continuing to beat. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the whipped cream is ready, gently fold in the chopped Cadbury Crème Eggs using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
- Transfer the whipped cream mixture into the pre-made chocolate pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Drizzle the 1/2 cup of chocolate ganache over the top of the whipped cream filling. You can create a swirl pattern or simply drizzle it as desired.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly.
- After chilling, remove the pie from the refrigerator. Slice into 8 servings and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Cadbury Crème Egg Chocolate Cream Pie!
Tips
- Chill Your Utensils: For the fluffiest whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and whisk/beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping.
- Egg Chopping Technique: Freeze the Cadbury Crème Eggs for about 10 minutes before chopping to make them easier to cut cleanly without squishing.
- Ganache Drizzling Hack: For a professional-looking drizzle, use a squeeze bottle or a piping bag for more controlled chocolate patterns.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This pie can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for parties and gatherings. Just add the final ganache drizzle before serving.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften the filling slightly and enhance the flavors.
