Include your favourite Easter eggs in this delicious and simple no bake Easter cheesecake.
Ingredients
300ml cream
250g plain chocolate biscuits
75g butter
3 tsp gelatine
2 tbs boiling water
500g cream cheese
2/3 cup caster sugar
250g of your favourite solid Easter eggs (retain a few for decorating)
for decorating
cadbury mini eggs
malteser mini bunnies
2 tbs drinking chocolate
Instructions
Grease and line a 20cm spring-form pan. Using a food processor, blitz the biscuits to fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and process until combined. Press the biscuit mixture over the base of the pan. Refrigerate.
Pour the boiling water into a heatproof jug and sprinkle the gelatine on the surface. Whisk until dissolved. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, whip 300ml of cream and set aside. Then beat together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually beat the bloomed gelatine mixture into the mix. Gently fold in the whipped cream and unwrapped Easter eggs.
Spoon the mixture into the spring-form pan, level the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until set.
Before serving remove the cheesecake from the tin and place on serving platter. Dust the top of the cake with drinking chocolate and decorate the top of the cake with mini eggs, bunnies and reserved Easter eggs.
Notes
I chose to include whole Easter eggs in the cheesecake. This made it a bit more fiddly to slice, but it meant everyone got a few whole Easter eggs in their slice.
You may choose to roughly chop the Easter eggs before folding them into the cheesecake mixture.
