Easter Chocolate Fridge Cake

Easter Chocolate Fridge Cake- A recipe for an indulgent chocolate Easter treat packed with fruit, nuts and most importantly, Cadbury's Mini-Eggs! 

Easter Chocolate Fridge Cake


With Easter around the corner, I was tempted to make this Easter Chocolate Fridge Cake, or Chocolate Tiffin. There's no pretending that it's anything but a very indulgent treat, but as Easter is the celebration that seems to involve the most chocolate, I think that's okay! Cadbury's Mini Eggs are my absolute favourite Easter goodie, so I added plenty of them to this recipe. If you're more of a Cadbury's Creme Egg fan, you could use the mini ones of those instead. I like those too, but couldn't be faffed with unwrapping them all individually!

Chocolate tiffin usually has biscuit inside, but my Easter version doesn't. I used nuts for the crunch instead- almonds and hazelnuts (which are my favourites at the moment), but if nuts are a problem, you could switch them for the more traditional digestive biscuits or even ginger nuts. If you really want to go renegade, use banana chips!

That's part of why I love this recipe, you can change it in hundreds of different ways. I used mixed dried fruit, but you could switch it for dried apricots, or just raisins, whatever you prefer.

Happy Easter and enjoy!

  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the dish and make sure it's even.
  6. Press the mini eggs into the mixture at intervals, ensuring they are securely in the mixture, not just resting on top.
  7. Pop in the fridge for an hour, two if you have time.

NOTES:

This will keep for around 2 weeks in the fridge, so you can make it well ahead of when you need it. (Who are we kidding though, it's never going to make it through 2 weeks without disappearing!)
