How to Make No-Bake Mini Egg Cheesecake Cups
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until fully combined. Spoon the mixture into the bottom of each dessert cup and press down firmly. Place in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Mini Eggs
Fold crushed Mini Eggs through the cheesecake mixture, saving some for decorating the tops. This adds texture, colour, and that unmistakable Easter crunch.
Step 4: Assemble the Cups
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit bases. Smooth the tops and decorate with extra Mini Eggs and any optional chocolate drizzle.
Step 5: Chill and Set
Place the cups in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set. Overnight works beautifully if you’re making these ahead.
