A food influencer has ignited a debate over chocolate storage by claiming that freezing Cadbury Creme Eggs enhances their flavour. Dan Mackey, who has 26,000 Instagram followers, says frozen Creme Eggs have a thicker, ice-cream-like texture that is less sickly than the original.
In a video, Mackey demonstrated freezing a pack of Creme Eggs overnight before cracking them open. He described the classic version as tasting like '99 soft serve' and the caramel egg as 'fudgy' and 'chewy'. He also praised the white chocolate variety for being 'crunchy and cold'.
Mackey wrote: 'The reaction to me freezing my eggs was so negative I've been forced to go full foodie content creator to prove you all wrong.' He added: 'A Creme Egg is low down on my Easter chocolate list unless it's frozen (and I don't like fridge chocolate).'
Fans were divided, with some hailing the hack as 'elite' and others recommending frozen Tunnock's Teacakes. The post has reignited the long-standing debate over whether chocolate should be refrigerated or frozen.
