Advantages: Less sickly than the real cream egg.

Disadvantages: Not as nice as caramel.

I am a huge fan of Cadburys confectionary products. I love almost everything I try, and anything that has Cadbury's dairy milk in seems to be a winning product for me! Out of all the Cadbury's products cream egg is my least favorite. Thats not to say I dont like it, just that I like all the other products so much that this one is not quite as good. The reason I am not a huge fan of Cadbury's cream eggs is because I find them too sickly. I was hoping that combined with the wafer and ice cream this effect would be neutralised out a bit.

The ice creams come in a multipack, four of them in a cardboard box. This is great because it is then recyclable. Within the box are individually light wrapped (by which I mean I wouldn't store them out of the box inside the freezer as they are not completely sealed). The ice creams are based in a wafer cone (which makes it easier to hold that some of the stick cadburys ice creams I have tried). The cone is filled with creamy dairy ice cream. The top is a round bit covered in chocolate and when you bite into it appears to be like an egg, with a creamy cream egg yolk in the middle. I have to say it does look a bit bizarre when you bite into it.

The cream egg ice cream is a pretty wierd taste combination. You have the wafer on the cone, the ice cream and the cream egg centre. They actually go together quite well, surprisingly. This will never be my favorite ice cream as it cannot compete with caramel in my eyes, but it is much less sickly than the cream egg itself. One other thing that is worth mentioning, is that the chocolate covering is very generous. This is typical of Cadburys but you rarely see it with other brands.

Summary: Suprisingly nice!
