Easy Easter Egg Cheesecake Recipe (No-Bake!)
Ingredients
- 2 Hollow chocolate Easter Eggs
- 150 grams Biscuits (most of your favourite biscuits will work – we love Oreo, Lotus, Biscoff, Digestives etc.)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 150 grams Marscapone
- 200 grams Soft cheese
- 5 tbsp Icing sugar (sieved)
- 200 grams Double cream (chilled cream whips better)
Chocolate sauce to drizzle
- 8 tbsp Milk (any milk will work, but whole milk will make it thicker and creamier)
- 170 grams Chocolare chips
To serve
- Your favourite Easter treats (such as Mini Eggs, Smarties, Rolos, Chocolate buttons – let your imagination run wild!)
Instructions
STEP 1 – Separating the Easter eggs (without breaking them!)
- Carefully run a hot knife along the seam and slowly pry apart. We recommend heating the knife by dipping it into a bowl of hot water.
STEP 2 – Break up the biscuits
- Tip your biscuits into a bowl (or a sandwich bag) and use the end of a rolling pin to bash to a fine crumb. Alternatively, whizz the biscuits to a fine crumb in a food processor.
- Stir in the melted butter until well combined (slowly add more butter if the mixture is too dry) Carefully spoon the mixture into the Easter egg halves and gently compress using the back of the spoon. Transfer to the fridge and chill until needed.
STEP 3 – The cheesecake filling
- Mix the soft cheese, mascarpone, and icing sugar in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the double cream to soft peaks using a whisk. An electric whisk is easier, but if whisking by hand, you will need a balloon whisk, a sturdy bowl and elbow grease – it should take no more than 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit bases in the Easter eggs.
- Carefully level the surfaces with a palette knife or spatula, then chill for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) until firm and set.
STEP 4 – Make the chocolate sauce
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave your milk for 30 seconds, until simmering. Remove from microwave and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. Leave to cool.
STEP 5 – The fun part – decorating the Easter Egg Cheesecakes
- Scatter your cheesecake-filled eggs with your chosen Easter treats, then drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce.
