Easter mini cheesecakes

on

Today I'd like to share a dessert that fits in fantastically with Easter atmosphere: mini vanilla cheesecakes in chocolate eggs.


They are very quick and simple to make - anyone can cope. They are subtly sweet and pleasantly vanilla in taste; chocolate eggs and crunchy biscuits are a bonus. Delicious and, most of all, beautiful Easter dessert!

You'll find the list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below.

List of ingredients

Cheesecakes

  • 2 medium chocolate eggs (my eggs were 11 cm long and 7 cm wide - they weighed 160 g altogether)
  • 4 biscuits (~50 g)
  • 270 g cream cheese
  • 2 heaped tbsp (~40 g) icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 100 ml whipping cream

Decoration

  • Mini chocolate eggs
  • 40 g chocolate
  • 1 tbsp whipping cream

Method

  1.  Carefully separate chocolate egg halves. Pour freshly boiled water into a jug and put a sharp knife into it. Heat it up this way for a minute, wipe off water and slowly cut through the chocolate egg along a seam. Don't hurry and reheat the knife if needed.
  2. Crush 4 biscuits to crumbles with a knife, a bag and a rolling pin or a kitchen robot.
  3. Put 270 g cream cheese into a large bowl and add 40 g icing sugar as well as a generous teaspoon of vanilla paste. Combine the contents of the bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until smooth.
  4. Add 100 ml cold whipping cream to cheese and beat them together with a mixer until thick. It won't take long, so be careful not to overmix them.
  5. Put 1 heaped tbsp of crushed cookies into each egg half and spread them into an even layer. Put in 2 heaped tbsp of cheese next and even out the top. 
  6. Put 40 g chocolate into a heatproof bowl and add 1 tbsp of whipping cream. Put the bowl into a microwave at full power for 20 seconds altogether. Take it out after the first 10 seconds to stir chocolate and cream, to prevent chocolate from scorching.
  7. Decorate the dessert. I scattered some reserved crushed cookies at the wider end of each egg and arranged a few mini chocolate eggs on top. Chocolate bunnies or other Easter decorations will work great, too! I created a simple pattern out of melted chocolate at the narrower end, too.
  8. Serve immediately or put the cheesecake into a fridge to set.
  9. Enjoy!
