Confetti cake is layered with Cadbury Creme Egg whipped cream, in these festive trifles. Simple to make and deliciously fun, the colourful cake and chocolate studded whipped cream is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
What exactly is a Cadbury Creme Egg?
The creme egg is a signature Easter treat from the Cadbury chocolate company. It consists of an egg shaped chocolate shell, which contains a runny fondant meant to resemble the yolk and albumen, of real eggs. It is a very popular Easter candy, all around the globe.
My daughter's 13th birthday was this past weekend and she requested a confetti cake. She LOVES sprinkles and the vanilla cake packed with sprinkles is her absolute favourite. With only 2 of us eating cake (my son and daughter), we had a lot of leftover cake. I decided to try and use it some other way, so we could finish the cake, rather than throw it out. My first thought was trifle, but I didn't want to make a big trifle that would sit in the fridge for days. So I made everyone their own individual trifle.
Every Easter I buy the mini creme eggs, to stuff into plastic eggs for the kids Easter egg hunt. I love that they are teenagers but still enjoy searching for their Easter treats. I decided to chop up our mini Easter creme eggs and fold them into some leftover whipped cream I had in the fridge. I tinted the whipped cream with a bit of yellow, for a bright contrast against the confetti cake. The pieces of creme egg is a wonderful crunchy contrast to the soft cake and creamy whipped cream. I love that this is such a simple and super festive Easter recipe.
How to make my Easter Creme Confetti TriflesStart with confetti cake. You can make your favourite white cake recipe, adding rainbow sprinkles to the batter. If baking from scratch isn't your thing, a funfetti cake mix baked according to package directions also works.
Once the cake is cooled, cut it into 1 inch cubes. At this point you can drizzle the cake with a bit of maple syrup, just to moisten it a bit more. My cake had frosting on it, so I did not use anything to moisten it with.
I had leftover whipped cream in the fridge, and you could make your own by beating a cup and a half of whipping cream with 1/4 C powdered sugar, until the cream reaches stiff peaks. Alternatively, you can use good ole cool whip, if homemade isn't your thing.
Chop your Creme Eggs into quarters if using the minis and into eights if using the larger eggs. You can do this more easily by placing the candy in the freezer for 15 minutes before chopping. Fold half of the chopped chocolate candy into the whipped cream. I added a few drops of neon yellow to my mixture. Feel free to use any colour you'd like, or to leave it white.
You can decide whether you would like to make a big trifle, or make individual ones like I decided to do. Start by placing a layer of cake in the bottom of your desired dish (trifle dish, parfait dishes, etc). Next add a layer of whipped cream and a layer of chopped Creme Eggs. Repeat the layers with cake, whipped cream and Creme eggs, until all the cake and whipped cream have been used up. Finish with a layer of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped chocolate candy.

ReplyDeleteWoah, this looks good! We love creme eggs here! We live pretty close to Bournville, just outside Birmingham (UK) which is where the Cadbury company started. There is a fab factory tour and visitors centre there as well as the factory where they still make the chocolate treats. I've not been for years but the kids used to love it when they were little.
