Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Egg Cheesecake
- Carefully split the hollow chocolate eggs in half by dipping a knife in hot water for easier cutting. Gently run the warm knife around the edge of each egg to create a clean break.
- In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits with melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Take the cookie mixture and firmly press it into the bottom of each chocolate eggshell, creating an even layer about half an inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into each prepared chocolate eggshell, smoothing the tops with a spatula for an even finish. Ensure filling reaches the tops of the shells.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled egg halves and top with mini chocolate eggs. Chill for at least 2 hours to set.
