cadbury's creme egg enzyme
6 Answers
Apparently, please correct me if I'm wrong, Cadbury's put a solid filling in their creme eggs. Then, after the 2 parts are joined together they inject an enzyme which turns the centre gooey.
What enzyme is used?

As stated, Creme Eggs are made by filling moulded shells. You may be thinking of 'soft-centre' sweets.
The sugar-based centre filling, which initially has a solid consistency, is mixed with an enzyme before dipping in chocolate to form the sweet. Over time, the enzyme converts some of the sucrose into invert sugar, to form a soft or even liquid centre, according to how much is added.
The enzyme is called invertase
