With Easter 2026 still over two months away, Cadbury has already stirred up excitement and debate among sweet-toothed shoppers by reintroducing an unconventional twist on its beloved Creme Egg. The product, spotted at Morrisons, has ignited a flurry of opinions on social media, revealing a clear divide among fans of the classic treat.
Cadbury's Latest Offering: A Trifle Twist
Cadbury, a household name in confectionery for decades, has expanded its Creme Egg lineup beyond the traditional egg-shaped delights. While the original Creme Egg remains a staple, alongside white chocolate and caramel variations, the brand has now revived the Creme Egg Trifle. This dessert was last available in 2021, making its comeback a nostalgic moment for some shoppers.
The discovery was made by Facebook user New Foods UK, who shared a photo from a recent supermarket visit, announcing: "Cadbury Creme Egg Trifle is back! Spotted at Morrisons." The large 550g dessert is marketed as a sharing option, featuring layers of Cadbury milk chocolate dessert, chocolate mousse, chocolate sponge, and fondant dessert, all topped with a creamy finish.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Responses to the Facebook post were sharply split, highlighting the polarising nature of this seasonal release. Some enthusiasts expressed unbridled enthusiasm for the trifle.
- One fan exclaimed: "They are the best trifles ever, I have four of them to myself when I do the monthly shopping."
- Another praised it, saying: "It's so good, I wish they gave more of the egg yolk—best bit about an egg."
- A third simply declared: "Tomorrow night's tea sorted!"
However, not all feedback was positive. Critics voiced their disappointment and skepticism about the dessert's appeal.
- One shopper lamented: "I bought one, and yes it has colours of creme egg but not the taste."
- Another offered a humorous critique: "Looks like a big burst spot on a teenager."
- A third pondered its sweetness: "Now I can put away a big strawberry trifle without an issue, but this looks maybe a little sickly."
Broader Easter Product Launches
This trifle release is part of a broader trend of Easter-themed innovations from Mondelez International, Cadbury's parent company. Earlier this month, the company launched the Lotus Biscoff Filled Egg, which features a filling of Biscoff spread and crunchy biscuit pieces. After a limited trial in select shops last year, this product is now available nationwide in supermarkets like Asda, Lidl, and Morrisons.
Pricing varies across retailers, with Asda selling individual eggs for 70p or packs of three for £2.07. Lidl offers a box of three at £2.05, while Morrisons lists it at £3.50, or £2.50 with a More Card. This follows the success of previous Cadbury and Biscoff collaborations, such as the Cadbury Dairy Milk Biscoff bar and advent calendar released last year.
As Easter approaches, these new products are set to test consumer preferences, with the Creme Egg Trifle already proving to be a contentious addition to the seasonal lineup.
