They’re easy to make, require minimal ingredients, and are guaranteed to impress your friends and family. Plus, they’re the perfect size for a sweet springtime treat.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• For the crust:

• 160g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
• 80g unsalted butter, melted
• For the filling:

• 340g full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 100g powdered sugar
• 300ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 80g Mini Eggs, roughly chopped
• For the decoration (optional):

• Flaked or grated chocolate
• Additional Mini Eggs

Let’s get baking!

1. Preheat and prepare

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Make the crust

• Crush the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into a fine crumb using a food processor or rolling pin.
• In a separate bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
• Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom of each paper liner in the muffin tin.

3. Beat the cream cheese

• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

4. Add the wet ingredients

• Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
• Tip: Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cheesecake filling tough.

5. Fold in the Mini Eggs

• Gently fold in the roughly chopped Mini Eggs using a rubber spatula.

6. Fill and bake

• Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.

7. Cool and decorate (optional)

• Let the cheesecakes cool completely in the pan at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.
• Once chilled, decorate with flaked or grated chocolate and additional Mini Eggs, if desired.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of powdered sugar in the crust.
• If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin and simply adjust the baking time accordingly.
• These cheesecake bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Enjoy your delicious and adorable Mini Egg Cheesecake Bites! They’re the perfect way to celebrate Easter or any other spring gathering.
