Ingredients
200 grams digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
80 grams unsalted butter, melted
400 grams cream cheese, softened
100 grams powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250 milliliters whipping cream
200 grams Cadbury mini eggs, plus extra for decorating
Instructions
1. Line a 20-centimeter springform pan or eight small jars with parchment paper if you like.
2. Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan or jars. Chill while you make the filling.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
4. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Spoon the filling over the chilled base and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or until the cheesecake is fully set. For best results, chill overnight.
7. Once set, remove from the pan and decorate with whole and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Serve cold and enjoy.
Notes
For a chocolate base, use chocolate biscuits instead of graham crackers.
You can add lemon zest to the filling for a fresh twist.
Make individual cheesecakes in jars or muffin tins for easy serving.
Add the mini eggs just before serving so they stay crisp and colorful.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days.
