Ingredients

  • 280 g Digestive biscuits (graham crackers) (See notes)
  • 140 g Butter (Unsalted, melted)
  • 360 g Cadbury's Mini Eggs (Plus 270g to decorate (about 7 small bags in total))
  • 600 ml Double cream (heavy whipping cream (US/CA) - min 35% fat - or (AU) thickened cream)
  • 140 g Icing sugar (powdered sugar) (Sifted)
  • 2 x 280g tubs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Full fat)
  • Juice of half a lemon

Method

  1. Make the base: Crush the biscuits until they look like lumpy sand. (I did mind in a food processor because I'm very lazy.)
  2. Mix with the melted butter and press into your 20cm/8" springform pan (US)/loose-bottomed tin (UK).
  3. Chop the 360g/13oz of the Mini Eggs in half.
  4. Make the cream filling: Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks (I use an electric whisk for this) - remove approx 3 desserts spoons of cream and pop into a bowl in the fridge (you will need this to decorate the cheesecake).
  5. Combine the whipped cream, icing sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice and chopped Mini Eggs. Fold in gently until fully combined.
  6. Assemble: Smooth on top of the biscuit base and flatten the top with the back of a spoon or a palette knife if you have one.
  7. Time to chill: Chill for 3 hours or, even better, overnight.
  8. Finish off: Use a knife tip to remove the cheesecake from the tin (see notes).
  9. Plop the remaining whipped cream on top of the cheesecake and pile on the remaining Mini Eggs (some chopped in half).
