What You’ll Need
Before we hop into the step-by-step, let’s go over the simple ingredients that make this recipe work its crispy-coated magic.
Ingredients:
• Cadbury Creme Eggs – The star of the show! You can also try this with Caramel or Mini Eggs for a fun twist.
• Refrigerated Biscuit Dough or Crescent Rolls – This gives us that golden, crispy outer layer.

• Powdered Sugar – Because a little extra sweetness never hurt anyone.
• Optional: Melted Chocolate for Drizzling – Because more chocolate is always a good idea.
How to Make Air Fryer Cadbury Eggs
Let’s break it down, step by step, so you can master this treat like the Easter pro you are.
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by unwrapping your Cadbury Eggs (I know, it’s tempting to eat one right away—no judgment if you do). Then, roll out your biscuit or crescent dough and cut it into small sections that will completely wrap around each egg.
Step 2: Wrap the Eggs
Take a piece of dough and gently wrap it around a Cadbury Egg, making sure to completely seal the edges. This keeps all that delicious chocolate from leaking out while it air fries. Pro tip: Use your fingers to pinch the dough together at the seams so nothing escapes.
Step 3: Egg Wash Time!
Brush each wrapped egg with an egg wash—this gives them that beautiful golden-brown finish when they cook. If you want extra crispiness, you can also sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar on top.
Step 4: Air Fry Like a Pro
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the wrapped Cadbury Eggs in the basket, making sure they aren’t touching. Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Important: Every air fryer is a little different, so keep an eye on them around the 4-minute mark to make sure they don’t overcook!
Step 5: Let Them Cool (Just a Bit!)
Once they’re done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for about 2 minutes. The filling inside is going to be HOT—we want gooey, not “ouch that burned my tongue” hot.
Step 6: Make It Fancy
Dust them with powdered sugar for a classic touch, or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence. You can even add some festive Easter sprinkles if you’re feeling extra fun.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!
Now, the best part—take a bite and experience the magic of crispy, buttery dough giving way to warm, melty, Cadbury goodness. Trust me, you’re going to want to make a second batch immediately.
Tips & Tricks for the Best Air Fryer Cadbury Eggs
✔ Don’t Skip the Egg Wash: It helps create that perfect golden-brown crust.
✔ Seal the Dough Well: Any gaps can cause the chocolate to ooze out while air frying.
✔ Let Them Cool a Bit Before Eating: The filling gets hot—give it a minute to set up before digging in.
✔ Try Different Fillings: Love caramel? Use Cadbury Caramel Eggs instead! Want a crunchy surprise? Use Mini Eggs!
How to Store & Reheat
I’d be shocked if you had leftovers (seriously, they disappear fast), but if you do, here’s how to store them:
• Storage: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• Reheating: Pop them back in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes to bring back that fresh-out-of-the-fryer crispiness.
Easter Fun: How to Serve Your Air Fryer Cadbury Eggs
This treat is a showstopper on its own, but here are some fun ways to make it even more festive:
• Easter Brunch Dessert: Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream.
• Ice Cream Topping: Crumble them over vanilla ice cream for the ultimate sundae.
• Charcuterie Board Addition: Yep, dessert charcuterie boards are a thing, and these belong on one.
• Kids’ Easter Treat: Let the little ones drizzle their own melted chocolate and add sprinkles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use Puff Pastry Instead of Biscuit Dough?
Absolutely! Puff pastry will give you a flakier, more delicate texture—just be sure to seal it tightly around the Cadbury Egg.
Can I Make These in the Oven?
Yes! If you don’t have an air fryer, bake them at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
You can assemble them in advance and store them in the fridge for a few hours before air frying. Just don’t let them sit too long, or the dough might get soggy.
