Now I already have a Creme Egg Brownies recipe on this site but this one is especially created for your Air Fryer and, dare I say it, is ever better!
It is absolutely PACKED with creme eggs which melt into the brownie batter as they bake in the air fryer, creating an epic chocolatey treat for Easter and beyond. Well, at least as long as creme eggs are available that is – usually from January to April.
WHAT GOES INTO AIR FRYER CREAM BROWNIES
There’s few ingredients in this brownie recipe so make sure you use good quality chocolate for the tastiest results! You can whisk the eggs using a hand mixer (LOVE my cordless KitchenAid one) or a balloon whisk.
- Chocolate chips (semi-sweet ideally) or a 60% chocolate bar, chopped up small
- Unsalted butter
- Large eggs
- Sugar – you can use granulated, caster or light brown sugar
- Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- Salt
- Flour
- Cocoa powder
- Cadbury’s creme eggs – I used a mix of regular and mini
HOW TO MAKE MY AIR FRYER CREME EGG BROWNIES
Full measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. Please take a look at the steps and video before attempting this recipe!
The first thing we need to do is melt the chocolate and butter together. I like to do this in the microwave, heating for 30 second bursts and stirring in between until the butter melts. Stir the chocolate and butter until completely smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Use the tip of a sharp knife to pry the Creme Eggs apart or simply slice in half. This works best if they are straight out of the fridge so that they keep their shape.
Place the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk at high speed until pale, frothy and doubled in volume. Add the melted chocolate into the whisked eggs, stirring to combine until completely smooth.
Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture and stir everything together to create the brownie batter.
Transfer the batter into a lined brownie pan (I used an 8 inch one but most air fryers will better fit a 7 inch one). Level and top with the creme eggs, pushing them slightly into the batter. Don’t worry if they are sticking out a bit – the batter will even out as the brownies bake in the air fryer.
AIR FRY, SLICE, ENJOY!
Bake for 25-30 minutes at 150-160°C /300-320°F or until the creme eggs have melted and the brownies are just firm on top.
Cool completely before slicing – I know this is easier said than done but trust me. If you cut the brownies while they are still warm they are likely to fall apart. Use a large knife to press down firmly through the brownies and wipe between cuts to create the perfect brownie squares.
RECIPE NOTES AND FAQs
STORING BROWNIES Keep the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. You can also keep them in the fridge, but they taste best at room temp or even slightly warmed up (in a microwave).
HOW DO I KNOW MY BROWNIES ARE BAKED? Brownies are the one bake where under baking is usually preferred, especially if you like them on the gooey side. The best way to gauge whether they are baked is to use an instant read thermometer such as a Thermapen.
For fudgy brownies, the temperature should be between 82-88C/ 180℉ -190℉. For denser cake-like brownies the internal temperature should be around 99°C / 210℉.
