Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these Baileys Cadbury Creme Egg Shots, gather the following:

• 6 large Cadbury Creme Eggs – These will act as your “shot glasses.”
• 2 oz Baileys Irish Cream – A velvety, smooth Irish cream liqueur that enhances the chocolate.
• 2 oz crème de cacao – A chocolate-flavored liqueur that adds extra richness.
• 2 oz milk or cream – For an ultra-smooth and creamy texture.

Optional Garnishes

• Whipped cream – A dollop on top for extra indulgence.
• Chocolate shavings – Sprinkle over the shots for a decorative touch.
• Mini chocolate eggs – For a festive garnish.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sharp serrated knife – To carefully cut open the chocolate eggs.
• Small bowl – To collect the creamy centers.
• Cocktail shaker – For blending the shot ingredients into a smooth mixture.
• Spoon – For scooping out the filling.

How to Make Baileys Cadbury Creme Egg Shots

Step 1: Prepare the Cadbury Creme Eggs

Unwrap each Cadbury Creme Egg and place them on a cutting board. Run a sharp serrated knife under hot water for a few seconds, then dry it off. Carefully cut off the tops of each chocolate egg using the warm knife. Move it gently to avoid cracking the eggshells. Using a small spoon, scoop out the creamy centers and transfer them to a bowl. Set the hollowed-out chocolate shells aside.

Step 2: Make the Shot Mixture

In a cocktail shaker, combine the Baileys Irish Cream, crème de cacao, milk or cream, and the reserved Cadbury Creme Egg filling. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until everything is well mixed and smooth. This step ensures that all the flavors blend together into a creamy, irresistible shot.

Step 3: Fill the Chocolate Egg Shots

Carefully pour the prepared shot mixture into the hollowed-out Cadbury Creme Eggs, filling them to the top. If desired, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate eggs for an extra festive touch.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve the Baileys Cadbury Creme Egg Shots immediately for the best experience. Enjoy the smooth, chocolatey, boozy goodness, and don’t forget—you can eat the chocolate shell after! These shots are best served fresh, as the chocolate eggshells may soften over time.

What to Serve with These Shots

Since these shots are dessert-like, they pair beautifully with other sweet treats:

• Chocolate-covered strawberries – A fresh, fruity contrast to the rich flavors.
• Easter cookies – Sugar cookies or shortbread add a fun festive touch.
• Mini cheesecakes – Their creamy texture complements the indulgence of these shots.
• Coffee or espresso – A little caffeine balances the sweetness perfectly.

Tips for Perfect Baileys Cadbury Creme Egg Shots

Warm the knife before cutting the eggs—it helps prevent cracking! Use a steady hand when pouring the mixture into the eggshells to avoid spills. If you want to make these ahead of time, you can prep the chocolate eggs and shot mixture separately, then assemble them right before serving. Chilling your ingredients before making the shots will also make for a smoother, more refreshing drink.

Storage Instructions

These shots are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store them, keep the empty chocolate eggshells in an airtight container at room temperature. Store the Baileys mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake well before using. Assembled shots should be consumed immediately to prevent the chocolate from softening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I make these shots non-alcoholic?

Yes! Swap the Baileys and crème de cacao for chocolate milk or a mix of milk and vanilla extract for a kid-friendly version.

2. What if my Cadbury Creme Egg cracks?

If a shell cracks slightly, you can “glue” it together using melted chocolate. Just let it set before filling.

3. Can I use a different type of liquor?

Absolutely! Try using Kahlúa, vanilla vodka, or Frangelico for a unique twist.

4. Can I use smaller Cadbury Creme Eggs?

Yes, but you’ll need to adjust the cutting process carefully and use a small funnel to pour in the liquid.
