Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Egg Cheesecake
  1. Carefully split the hollow chocolate eggs in half, using a warm knife to score around the seam and prevent cracking. Set aside.
  2. Combine ¾ cup of crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits with 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a medium bowl until resembling wet sand.
  3. Divide the cookie mixture among the chocolate egg halves, pressing gently until firmly packed. Chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Beat 1½ cups of cream cheese with ½ cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Whip ¾ cup of heavy cream and fold into the cheese mixture.
  5. Spoon the creamy filling into the egg halves, smoothing the tops. Chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
  6. Melt chocolate for drizzling and carefully drizzle over the cheesecake-filled eggs, then sprinkle with mini chocolate eggs before serving.
