Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cadbury Creme Egg
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter + more for greasing
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature & whisked
  • 1 tablespoon flour

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate chips and one tablespoon of butter either in the microwave or in a double boiler. Stir until the chocolate chips are smooth and the butter is completely integrated.
  • Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar and continue to stir until it has dissolved. The chocolate should be smooth and warm, but not too hot, after about five minutes.
  • While continuously stirring the chocolate mixture, slowly pour in the whisked egg until it is completely incorporated. Stir in the flour until the batter becomes thick.
  • Grease a ramekin with additional butter. Add all but 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into the greased ramekin. Unwrap the Cadbury Creme Egg and place it on its side in the center of the batter, gently ensuring that it doesn't sink through to touch the bottom of the ramekin. Cover the egg with the reserved batter.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is mostly dry with a slightly wet-looking center. Run a knife around the edges of the ramekin to loosen the cake.
  • Place a serving plate on top of the ramekin and quickly flip the ramekin and plate over. Remove the ramekin from the cake by wiggling it gently until the cake releases. Garnish the top with your choice of additional chocolates, candies, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
