Ingredients

Cheesecake Base:

85g digestive biscuits

20g butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling:

200g cream cheese

45g icing sugar sieved

120g chocolate (I used kinder)

100ml double cream

Extras:

1 hollow chocolate Easter egg

Your choice of toppings

Method

Before you start, be sure to prepare your Easter eggs by cutting them in half. It’s important to have an adult help with this step to ensure safety. To make it easier, you can warm a sharp knife under hot water to help it slide through the chocolate more smoothly, which will also help prevent any breakage.

To make the biscuit base, place digestive biscuits in a bowl and crush them until they have a fine, sand-like texture. Melt the butter and mix it in with the biscuits until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the base of each Easter egg half, pressing it down gently to form an even layer.

Next, it’s time to make the cheesecake filling. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Then, add in the cooled melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.

In another bowl, whip the double cream until it forms thick, billowy peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolatey cream cheese mixture until fully combined and no streaks remain.

Spoon the cheesecake filling into each of the prepared Easter egg halves, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill the cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until firm.

Before serving, add your desired toppings, such as crushed mini eggs or whipped cream. This time i used crushed malteaser’s, kinder bueno and malteaser bunnies.
