Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large hollow chocolate Easter egg (approx. 150 grams / 5.3 oz)
- 235 grams / 8.3 oz full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 95 milliliters / 3.2 fluid oz double cream (heavy cream)
- 60 grams / 2.1 oz digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 40 grams / 1.4 oz icing sugar
- 25 grams / 0.9 oz unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Assorted Easter chocolates (mini eggs, chocolate bunnies, sprinkles, etc.)
Instructions
- Chocolate Egg Preparation: Warm a sharp knife under hot water, thoroughly dry, and meticulously slice the chocolate Easter egg along its seam, creating two pristine halves.
- Base Construction: Pulverize digestive biscuits into fine granules using a food processor or manual crushing method. Incorporate melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Distribute the crumbly base evenly within the egg halves, applying gentle pressure to create a compact foundation. Refrigerate momentarily while preparing the filling.
- Cheesecake Mixture: Blend cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a luxuriously smooth consistency. Gradually fold in double cream, whisking until the mixture transforms into a voluptuous, stable texture.
- Assembly and Embellishment: Gracefully spoon the creamy filling into the egg shells, creating elegant peaks and smoothing the surface with precision. Adorn with artful drizzles of melted chocolate, scatter miniature chocolate eggs, position delicate chocolate bunnies, and sprinkle vibrant confectionery decorations.
- Chilling and Serving: Transfer the decorated Easter egg cheesecakes into the refrigerator, allowing them to set and solidify for a minimum of two hours before presenting this delectable dessert.
Notes
- Warm the knife slightly and dry thoroughly to create clean, precise cuts on the Easter egg without cracking or shattering the delicate chocolate shell.
- Press biscuit crumb mixture gently but firmly to create a compact, even base that won’t crumble when serving the cheesecake.
- Whisk cream cheese mixture slowly and steadily to ensure smooth, lump-free filling with consistent texture and no liquid separation.
- Allow minimum 2-hour refrigeration to set filling completely, helping cheesecake maintain shape and developing richer, more intense flavor profile.
