I COOKED CADBURY'S CREME EGG IN AN AIR FRYER AND IT WAS THE BEST EASTER RECIPE I'VE TRIED
It wouldn't be Easter without gorging on too many Cadbury's Creme Eggs. You can't miss the egg-shaped treat filled with a sweet white and yellow fondant, and supermarkets, petrol stations and corner shops have been stocking the decadent chocolate for months in the run-up to spring.
Available to buy singly, or as a multi-pack (dangerous), the sticky confectionery tastes delicious on its own, but even better when it's wrapped in pastry. Instagram foodie Cakeontherun has shared her recipe for air fryer Creme Egg pastries and they are insane.
Made with just a handful of ingredients including ready-rolled puff pastry to keep things easy, and speedy, these naughty delights can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert or whenever you're craving something sweet.

If for some odd reason you're not a fan of Creme Eggs... or you simply avoid dairy, you can replace it with any chocolate you fancy, may it be a Lindt Lindor truffle, chunk of dark chocolate or a generous spoonful of Nutella. The scrumptious pastries take just seven minutes to cook in an air fryer, or 12-15 minutes in an oven.
