We absolutely love, love, love Cadbury mini eggs around here and I am obsessed with creating fun food with them. There’s something magical about mini eggs—the combination of a crispy candy shell and the smooth milk chocolate inside is just so good!
This year I discovered teeny, tiny micro mini eggs that are the size of chocolate chips. After they disappeared from my local store, I enlisted in the help of friends to find them once again.
And boy, did they pull through! I am now completely stocked up on micro mini eggs and have a ton of fun, festive Easter recipes coming your way.
This Cadbury mini egg dip is just the first of my micro mini egg recipes! Check out these no-bake mini cheesecakes, a mini egg Easter milkshake, a mini egg parfait, and many more treats to satisfy your sweet tooth.
With my group of teenage boys, you can’t go wrong with anything that involves chocolate!

Mini Egg Easter Dessert Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- Cream cheese – Starting with the cream cheese at room temperature makes it much easier to easily create that smooth, creamy base.
- Cadbury mini eggs, roughly chopped – Crunchy, chocolatey perfection in every bite.
- Powdered sugar – For just a touch of sweetness.
- Vanilla extract – Adds a hint of warmth and flavor.
- Cadbury micro mini eggs – If you can’t find the teeny, tiny micro mini eggs, simply substitute with more regular-sized mini eggs.
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine the chopped mini eggs and micro mini eggs.
2. Combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix until well combined. Stir in 1 cup of the mini egg mixture, reserving the rest for topping.
Tip: Be gentle—overmixing can cause the candy pieces to lose their coating color.
4. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a serving bowl, placing it at the center of a tray or cutting board.
5. Surround the dessert dip with a selection of dippers like cookies and fresh fruit.
6. Top the dessert dip with remaining mini eggs and enjoy!
We like to use Golden Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, and apple slices for this mini egg dessert dip. You could also add strawberries, pears, pretzels, vanilla wafers, or any number of dippable snacks!
How to Store Your Mini Egg Dip

Tips and Tricks
- Add this dip to an Easter buffet table with other treats like an Easter snack mix or a chocolate chip cheese ball.
- Let the cold cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing for the smoothest texture.
- Try drizzling melted chocolate chips over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
- If making this dip for kids, let them mix in their favorite Easter candy for a fun, hands-on activity.
- Freeze small portions of the dip for a chilled sweet tooth fix on warmer days.
I love that you only need a few simple ingredients from the grocery store to make this sweet Easter dessert dip. Nothing too fancy here, that’s for sure!

- Swap out chocolate chips for mini eggs!
