This Creme Egg recipe is a tasty Easter treat for our dairy free friends. Now, we have to admit that they aren’t really a substitute for the taste and runny centre of the Cadbury Creme Egg recipe… but you know what? The ingredients in this recipe are so much better for you and if you are dairy free you will be excited to ‘indulge’ in these as they provide a great substitute!
We made these for Easter last year, and even the non-dairy free Easter visitors enjoyed them.
We highly recommend you make the coconut butter from Super Kitchen Machine FIRST (unless you already have a jar in the cupboard). Note: coconut butter is different to coconut oil… it has the flesh in it. Tip: make the full 400g from the Super Kitchen Machine recipe, then it should be perfect. Doing the recipe with less can lead to a less smooth consistency. It’s great to have in the cupboard for your dairy free Easter preparation

The ingredients in this recipe are SO much better for you and if you are dairy free you will be excited to ‘indulge’ in these as they provide a great substitute! We have made these for the last few Easters, and even the non-dairy free Easter visitors enjoyed them!
