Scrumptious showstopping Creme Egg scotch eggs with a Creme Egg wrapped in home made chocolate brownie and sprinkles! 

So these are one of many basic viral treats of the easter baking season, and I’m equally as obsessed and intrigued. Sure, they’re fairly excessive actually, however they’re simply GLORIOUS! 

Do-it-yourself or store purchased brownies, a Creme Egg or whichever gentle centred easter chocolate you favor, and sprinkles… it actually does seem like a scotch egg! 

Creme eggs

So, that is an apparent one… however Creme Eggs. Should you don’t like Creme Eggs, you need to use a unique gentle centred egg such because the caramel ones which additionally work completely. 

I are inclined to freeze my Creme Eggs earlier than utilizing as it’s going to stop you from unintentionally crushing the egg when you find yourself wrapping the brownie round it later, they solely want an hour or two of freezing earlier than cracking (get it?) on. 

Brownies

Relating to the brownies, you’ll be able to go one in every of two methods…. purchase the little store purchased chew ones as they actually do work, or make your individual. 

If you would like a fast deal with, the store purchased ones can be simpler – however I made my very own for this recipe. I used my customary triple chocolate brownie recipe, however unnoticed the chocolate chips as you ideally want the combination to be fairly easy. 

The batch of brownies does make greater than the 500g of brownie you want, however that’s completely okay – you’ll be able to freeze the remainder, make your individual brownie bites, and even simply make an even bigger batch of the Creme Egg scotch eggs in the event you most popular. 

It’s tremendous necessary to make use of the darkish chocolate within the base of the brownie combination so that you simply get the tremendous fudgy brownie that you’re after. 

Meeting 

When making the principle combination for these, you primarily need to seize 500g of brownies and whack them in your bowl. I do use my mixer to make this far simpler, however you’ll be able to simply use a number of arm energy. 

Squash the brownies down as a lot as you’ll be able to by mixing, after which add within the buttercream. You should use home made or store purchased, each work properly once more and each are nice.

Combine till you could have a thick paste, after which break up the combination between eight. I make eight as you want a good quantity of brownie combination to cowl the Creme Eggs properly. 

I then flatten the brownie combination within the palm of my hand, add the frozen Creme Egg to the center, after which rigorously however firmly wrap the brownie combine throughout the Creme Egg. 

Sprinkles

Upon getting completed the above, you’ll be able to dunk and roll the Creme Egg scotch eggs in sprinkles. This principally makes it look extra like a scotch egg as they’ve a breaded floor. 

You should use vermicelli sprinkles like I’ve, or you need to use grated chocolate, chocolate nibs, something actually that’s small and can follow the brownie! 

I then let the Creme Egg scotch eggs set barely within the fridge earlier than devouring each single crumb… BECAUSE JUST LOOK AT THEM! They’re unbelievable!
