Servings: 12 Slices
Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter/stork
Cheesecake Filling
- 600 g full-fat soft cream cheese
- 100 g icing sugar
- 300 ml double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300 g mini eggs (crushed)
Decoration
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 50 g melted milk chocolate
- 100-200 g mini eggs
Instructions
For the Biscuit Base
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or mash them up in a bag/bowl and add the melted butter - pulse a few times until it is combined well.
- Tip into an 8"/20cm Deep Springform Tin and press down firmly. Chill in the refrigerator whilst you do the rest!
For the Filling
- In a large bowl, add the full-fat soft cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract - whisk until smooth.
- Once whisked, pour in the double cream and continue to whip the mixture until it is lovely and thick - alternatively you can whip the cream separately until thick and fold through the cream cheese mixture.
- Once its thick, fold through the chopped up mini eggs. Spread onto the biscuit base and spread evenly. Leave to set in the fridge, covered, for 5-6 hours, or preferably over night.
For the Decoration
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin, and drizzle over some melted chocolate.
- Decorate with some whipped cream... Whip together the double cream & icing sugar and pipe on in swirls! Add a Mini Egg per slice, and sprinkle over some crushed mini eggs.
Notes
- I use this tin for this cheesecake
- I use this piping tip for the decoration
- I always set my cheesecakes in the fridge overnight otherwise they risk being a little sloppy still and you're more likely to get a better result for the longer you leave it!
- This Cheesecake will last covered in the fridge for 3 days!
- And yes, the colour may run slightly from the mini eggs, but this is just normal as its being refrigerated!
