Easter is all about getting creative in the kitchen and having fun! These yummy no-bake Easter Chocolate Nest Cakes are made with just 3 ingredients and are the perfect treat for Easter! Use your leftover (if any!) Easter chocolate to make these treats!
I’m sharing my first Easter recipe with you today!
Growing up I always used to make these nest cakes over Easter time and they would also be made for parties. Over the last few years I’ve been teaching my little cousins how to make them.
This recipe is brilliant for any age – kids and adults alike will enjoy making these! The best part is the nest cakes can be made in less than 10 minutes and only need about half an hour to set in the fridge before you can devour them!
This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make, all you’ll need to do is melt chocolate and then add the cereal and coat in the melted chocolate. This simple recipe only requires two ingredients or three if you’re going to decorate the cakes with mini eggs like I did.
Try your hardest not to eat the mixture before popping it into the cupcake cases. When I was little I would always grab a spoon from the kitchen drawer and help myself to numerous spoonful’s of the yummy, chocolatey mix.
To decorate I kept it simple and placed a few Cadbury mini eggs on the top of each nest cake. Mini eggs are my absolute favourite Easter chocolate. When I have a bag of these around, I cannot resist eating them!
You can decorate these nest cakes in anyway you like, I’ll leave that up to you! 😉
(Makes 10-12)
Ingredients:
100g (3.5 ounces) milk or dark chocolate (or a mix of the two – we prefer using just milk chocolate)
75g (3 cups) rice krispies (cornflakes or shredded wheat can be used too)
Cadbury mini eggs, for decoration
Method:
- Line a 12-hole cupcake/muffin tin with 10-12 paper cases. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt gently over a pan of gently simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water) or melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Toss the melted chocolate with the rice krispies until the cereal is completely coated in the chocolate.
- Divide the mixture between the paper cases and press 2-3 mini eggs into the centre of each nest. Chill in the fridge for half an hour until set.
