6 of the Most Decadent Easter Treats
Coming at the end of Lent, Easter is a time of indulgence (whether we stuck to no chocolate or not) and as ever London has stepped up to the mark with some truly outlandish Easter creations – deep fried Crème egg anyone?
Easter Doughnuts
Doughnut Time's Easter Edition
Easter egg nests maybe a classic but they can’t compare to Doughnut Time’s latest Easter treats – four sugar laden, chocolate creations that will leave you feeling all kinds of happy and probably slightly on edge from the spike in your blood sugars. Choose from the Yolk Addict, Tease Me Baby, the Egg Sheeran and the Struck by a Smooth Caramel – a chocolate glazed doughnut filled with chocolate caramel and topped with Galaxy Golden Eggs, gold leaf, black pearls and a Cadbury’s Caramel Egg.

Deep Fried Crème Eggs
How to End Your Bottomless Brunch
You might have seen that photo doing the rounds on social media, the one where the lady has put the amount of sugar in a Crème Egg next to one. It’s more than depressing. That hasn’t stopped Mac & Wild though, because they are finishing off their Bank Holiday bottomless brunch with a deep-fried Crème Egg – might as well add some fat to balance the sugar. Well, it’s only once a year…

Easter Freakshakes
More Than a Milkshake
Maxwell’s Bar & Grill is known for its freakshakes, so it only seems fitting that they create an Easter addition. The chocolate milkshake is topped with a chocolate Easter egg filled with ice cream and topped with chocolate sauce, smarties and an Oreo. Easter the time to be extra.

The Cheese Easter Egg
The Cheester Egg
Say happy Cheeaster this year with an Easter egg made entirely from blue cheese. The spreadable cheese comes complete with crunchy oat cakes and handmade chutney, so your Easter meal of eggs can now also feature a cheese course. Although combining chocolate, cheese and inevitably some sort of wine is a migraine waiting to happen…just saying.

Ready to fall in love? EGGBREAK in Notting Hill is serving Crème Egg French toast and we’re smitten. It’s a gooey chocolate and banana stuffed French toast, coated in crispy cornflakes, topped with Cadbury milk chocolate shavings and a Cadbury Crème Egg to finish it off.

Chocolate Pizza
Move Over Margherita
If you’re worried that you might not have space for pudding then we suggest you start with pudding this time round, because you aren’t going to want to miss The Eggs-traordinaire pizza at Bunga Bunga Covent Garden this year. The custard base is topped with Crème eggs, Mini eggs, Lindt chocolate bunnies and more chocolate.
