Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Base

  • 300 g digestives
  • 100 g unsalted butter

Cheesecake filling

  • 600 g full-fat soft cream cheese
  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300 g mini eggs (crushed)

Decoration

  • 100g double cream, whipped to soft peaks (optional, but recommended)
  • 100-200 g mini eggs,

Instructions

For the Biscuit Base

  1. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or mash them up in a bag/bowl and add the melted butter - pulse a few times until it is combined well.
  2. Tip into an 8"/20cm deep springform tin and press down firmly. Chill in the refrigerator whilst you do the rest!

For the Filling

  1. In a large bowl, add the full-fat soft cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract - whisk until smooth.
  2. Once whisked, pour in the double cream and continue to whip the mixture until it is lovely and thick - alternatively you can whip the cream separately until thick and fold through the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Once it's thick, fold through the chopped up mini eggs. Spread onto the biscuit base and spread evenly. Leave to set in the fridge, covered, for at least 3 hours but preferably over night.
  4. Once set remove from the tin.  Spoon the whipped cream on the top in a pile and then top with remaining mini eggs, slice and serve!

Notes

You can decorate with the whipped cream and the mini eggs and it will keep happily in the fridge for a couple of days. You just want to ensure the cheesecake filling is completely set before you start decorating it.
