Ingredients
Chocolate Shells:
-
2 large hollow chocolate Easter eggs (6–8 inches)
Crust:
-
1 cup digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
-
¼ cup melted unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling:
-
1 cup full-fat cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup heavy cream, cold
Toppings (Optional):
-
Mini chocolate eggs
-
Melted chocolate for drizzling
-
Edible flowers (pansies, violets, nasturtiums – safe and labeled)
Instructions
-
Break the Eggs:
Run a large, sharp knife under hot water, dry it, then gently press it along the egg’s seam to create clean halves. Place over parchment paper to catch shards. -
Make the Crust:
Crush biscuits in a zip-top bag. Mix with melted butter until resembling wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of each chocolate egg half. -
Prepare the Filling:
-
Beat cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix again.
-
Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture gently for a light, airy texture.
-
-
Fill the Eggs:
Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each egg half. Smooth the top. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, ideally overnight. -
Decorate:
Drizzle with melted chocolate, add mini eggs, and place edible flowers on top just before serving.
Notes
-
Broken Shells: Use pieces to create small “chocolate bowls” in ramekins or muffin tins.
-
Crust Protection: Fully mix butter with crumbs to prevent sogginess. Assemble toppings the day of serving.
-
Flavor Twists:
-
Lemon Berry Bliss: Add lemon zest to filling, top with raspberry coulis & berries.
-
Salted Caramel Pretzel: Use pretzel crumbs for crust and swirl caramel into filling.
-
Cookies & Cream: Use crushed Oreos for crust & fold in finely chopped Oreos.
-
Vegan: Use vegan chocolate shells, coconut oil for crust, and a cashew-coconut cream filling.
-
Confetti Fun: Fold mini chocolate eggs into the filling before piping.
