Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Ensure that the creme eggs have been frozen for at least 2 hours prior to using them in the recipe. This helps them to hold their shape and not ooze out of the dough whilst in the air fryer.
  • If you can't get hold of croissant dough, you can also try the recipe with ready-rolled puff pastry, cut into triangles.
 
Variations:
  • For a fun twist, try adding a small spoonful of raspberry jam or peanut butter to the croissant dough before adding the Cadbury Creme Egg.
  • You can also try using different flavors of Cadbury Eggs, such as caramel or white chocolate creme egg.
  • Top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or melted chocolate for an extra chocolatey treat. You could also dust over some icing sugar before serving.
 
Storage:
Store - the croissants are best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheat - place in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes until heated through.
