Instructions
To decorate the glasses: Place the Mini Eggs into a freezer-proof bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are small chunks. Pour the crushed Mini Eggs onto a plate.
Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a small microwave-proof bowl and gently melt in a microwave in 30-second blasts. Alternatively, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and gradually melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth.
Using a silicone pastry brush, paint the melted chocolate around the rim of the sundae glasses, then roll in the crushed Mini Eggs, ensuring you get a good coverage.
Pop the decorated glasses in the fridge to chill while you make the milkshake.
To make the milkshake: Place the remaining crushed Mini Eggs into the blender. or blender cup. Save a tablespoon of the Mini Eggs for later.
Add the vanilla ice-cream and milk into the blender, then blitz on high for 2-3 minutes until the milkshake is thick and frothy.
To assemble the milkshake: Remove the chilled sundae glasses from the fridge. Drizzle the chocolate sauce around the inside rim of the glasses, so that it drizzles down the sides.

How long will the milkshake keep for?
Once made, the milkshake it’s best to drink it straight away.
If you wait too long to drink the milkshake, the crushed Mini Eggs will settle in the bottom of the glass and that thick shake texture that the ice cream gives will become watery as it melts.
Do I have to use Mini Eggs?
No, you don’t. I love Mini Eggs but there are so many different types available now you can use which ever are ones are you favourites.
Some of my favourite swaps are Milky Bar eggs, Terrys Chocolate Orange eggs and Smarties eggs. Kit Kat eggs and Malteser Bunnies are great too – swap the vanilla ice cream for chocolate ice cream for these.
Can I use a different flavour ice cream?
Sure! I find vanilla ice cream works best as it lets the flavour of the Mini Eggs come through, but if you’re a chocolate lover swap out the vanilla for chocolate ice cream instead.
