Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar for sweetness
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream whipped until stiff peaks
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract preferably pure
For the Base
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker/Digestive Biscuits finely crushed, gluten-free if desired
  • 4 Tbsp Butter melted, unsalted
For the Decoration
  • 6 pieces Hollow Chocolate Eggs like Cadbury eggs
  • ½ cup Melted Chocolate for drizzling
  • ½ cup Mini Chocolate Eggs for garnishing

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Spatula
  • whisk
  • Knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by carefully splitting the hollow chocolate eggs in half using a heated knife. Lay the halves on a parchment-lined tray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crush the graham crackers or digestive biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs. Combine with melted unsalted butter.
  3. Divide the crumb mixture among the prepared chocolate egg halves, pressing down to create an even layer. Chill for about 15 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and fold it in.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake filling into the chilled chocolate egg halves, smoothing the tops. Chill for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Once set, drizzle melted chocolate on top and scatter mini chocolate eggs for decoration.
  7. Slice into the chocolate eggs to reveal the creamy filling and serve immediately or keep refrigerated.
