Description

This Cadbury Egg Fudge recipe recreates the beloved flavors of classic Cadbury Creme Eggs in a rich, creamy fudge form. Featuring layers of smooth milk chocolate, a sweet vanilla-flavored white fudge center, and a hint of yellow food coloring for authenticity, this treat is perfect for Easter or any chocolate lover’s indulgence. The fudge is chilled to set and cut with a hot knife for clean slices.

Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 drop gel yellow food coloring

Chocolate Layers

  • 16 ounces milk chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix the Fudge Base: In a mixer, beat together the softened butter and light corn syrup until well combined. Add the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, pinch of kosher salt, and milk. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Separate and Color the Mixture: Remove two-thirds of the white fudge mixture into a separate bowl. To the remaining portion, add several drops of gel yellow food coloring and beat until the color is evenly distributed, creating the yellow fudge layer.
  3. Prepare the Pan and Melt Chocolate: Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Melt the milk chocolate according to package directions until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Fudge Layers: Pour half of the melted milk chocolate into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom. Spread the white fudge layer evenly over the chocolate layer. Spoon dollops of the yellow fudge over the white layer and gently spread with a knife to create the signature yellow center look. Finally, pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top, smoothing it to cover the entire surface.
  5. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the layered fudge for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm to the touch.
  6. Cut and Serve: Using a very hot knife—heated by dipping in boiling water—cut the fudge into squares for clean cuts. Store the fudge in a covered container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Enjoy your homemade Cadbury Egg Fudge!

Notes

  • Using a hot knife makes cutting the fudge much easier and results in clean slices. Dipping your knife in boiling water or running it through a hot rinse cycle in the dishwasher works well.
  • If you prefer, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate; however, milk chocolate provides the authentic Cadbury Egg flavor.
  • The yellow food coloring is optional and only affects appearance—the flavor remains the same without it.
