Look folks, there’s no denying that Easter brings about a lot of chocolate. It’s everywhere. You can’t walk two steps in your office without being offered a choccie egg and don’t even think about catching up with your family without receiving a bounty of rabbit shaped milk chocolate. It is a time of indulgence and this year we thought we’d amplify things just a touch.
Prepare to over-indulge on these 3 Epic Easter Egg Cocktail Recipes. Whilst some people might consider these a Food Challenge, it might be all in a day’s work for others. Whatever camp you sit in, you gotta admit that these are a lot of fun to make! We decided to create some Adults Only alcoholic cocktails, however just remove the alcohol for a yummy non-alcoholic cocktail, great for all ages.
Lick your lips. Let’s go…
EPIC EASTER EGG SHAKE
Ingredients (Serves One)
– Ice Magic or Chocolate Syrup
– 150ml Milk
– Ice Cream (your choice, we used Coconut)
– 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs
– 3 Chocolate Easter Eggs (hollow)
– 30ml Chocolate Liqueur or Baileys Irish Cream (leave out for a kids friendly version!)
– Whipped Cream
– 1 Small Lindt Bunny
– 1 Humpty Dumpty Chocolate Egg
– Flake Chocolate Bar
What You’ll Need:
– Tall Glass (we used the Huck High Tumbler)
– Standard size bowl (we used a 500ml Marimekko bowl)
– Blender
– Straw
1/ Pour the Ice Magic into a bowl. Take your glass and place it into the ice magic upside down (so that the chocolate coats the top rim of the glass). Remove and then turn the glass a few times, leave to stand then place in the fridge.
2/ Put the milk, 2 scoops of icecream, 3 creme eggs, 3 hollow easter eggs and Chocolate Liqueur into a blender. Once blended, pour into your cold glass. Do not fill to the top.
3/ Place 1 scoop of icecream on the top of the shake. Then create a mountain of whipped cream on top of the ice cream.
4/ For the toppings you can use whatever Easter Eggs you have. We used a Humpty Dumpty Easter Egg to create large chocolate ‘wafers’ and sprinkled the rest on top, alongside a Lindt bunny, Creme Egg and a Flake Chocolate bar (for good measure!)
5/ Pop a Straw in and you’re done!

What You’ll Need:
– Egg Cup to stabilise the Easter Egg (we used the Yolk Egg Cup)

1/ Unwrap your hollow Easter Egg and with a knife cut it open at the top. Place onto a stable surface (we used an egg cup).
2/ Place the ice cubes in the cocktail shaker. Pour in the coffee, coffee liqueur, vanilla vodka and sugar syrup. Shake.
3/ Strain the mixture into the egg. Garnish with chocolate flakes or coffee beans.
BOOZY EASTER EGGS
