What can I make individual cheesecakes in?

You can make no-bake mini egg cheesecake in small jars, ramekins, or even paper-lined muffin tins. These work perfectly for parties, picnics, and events where guests can serve themselves. Layer the biscuit base first, then spoon in the cheesecake filling. Chill as usual, then decorate with toppings. It’s an easy way to create personal-sized desserts with the same big flavor. You’ll find that the individual version is just as creamy and delightful as the full-sized cheesecake.

How to know if mini cheesecake is cooked?

Because this is a no-bake mini egg cheesecake, it doesn’t get cooked at all. Instead, it sets in the fridge. You’ll know it’s ready when the surface feels firm and it doesn’t jiggle. Give it at least six hours in the fridge, but overnight is best for a flawless texture. Always use full-fat ingredients for the best set and structure. If you’re trying a variation like mini egg cheesecake cups, test by lightly pressing the top with a spoon, It should resist gently without sinking.

Does cheesecake take eggs?

Classic baked cheesecake includes eggs, but no-bake mini egg cheesecake does not. That’s one reason it’s so beginner-friendly. Instead of relying on eggs for structure, it uses cream cheese and double cream. Whipping the cream until thick and folding it gently into the cheese mixture helps it hold its shape. Once chilled, it sets beautifully without the need for baking or eggs. This makes it safer for kids to help prepare and quicker to assemble.
